Desert Riding
Viewing the Pyramids by Arabian horseback is a great experience
and an unforgettable way to take in one of the world's most famous
sights. There is of course, the slightly smellier option of camel
riding, a real 'Egyptian experience' and a popular activity with
tourists, especially children. Sunrise and full-moon rides are
available and after a day out on the sand, head back to the riding
headquarters and relax on their deck with refreshments and barbeque
while taking in the spectacular views over the Pyramids and Sphinx
for the evening laser show.

Admission
Costs depend on the itinerary of the ride as chosen by
guest
Language
Arabic is the official language although English and
French are widely spoken, especially in the tourist
areas.
Money
The unit of currency is the Egyptian Pound (EGP), which is
divided into 100 piastres. Most credit cards are accepted in major
hotels and restaurants. Visitors are advised to take travellers
cheques in US Dollars or Pounds to avoid additional exchange rate
charges. Banks are usually closed on Friday and Saturday, but
private exchange bureaux, called 'Forex', are open daily and banks
in major hotels are open 24 hours. Cairo branches of the Egyptian
British Bank and Banque Misr now have ATMs available that accept
Visa, MasterCard and Cirrus and are quite common in the main
tourist areas.
