If you’re up for something off the beaten path, the Birqash Camel Market is worth a visit. It’s one of the biggest camel markets near Cairo, where you can see locals trading animals in a way you won’t find in the usual tourist spots. It’s about a 30-minute drive out of the city, so going with a local guide is a good idea — they know the place and can help you navigate the chaos. Just a heads-up: it’s a pretty raw scene with animals being bought and sold, so if you’re sensitive about that, it might not be your cup of tea.
