Most of the camels come in caravans from Sudan’s Darfur and Kordofan along the Darb Al Arba’een (Forty Days Rd) to just north of Abu Simbel before being trucked to Daraw. It is a picturesque sight and fascinating to see the trading; sometimes there are as many as 2000 camels.

Aswan - Camels are sold here every day of the week, but the main days are Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday. Here they spend two days in quarantine before being sold by their Sudanese owners. Most go on to the camel market in Birqash, about 35km northwest of Cairo, where they are either sold to Egyptian farmers, exported to neighbouring countries or slaughtered for meat. This is no place for the squeamish.

Your tour guide will meet you at your Aswan hotel at 8:00 AM to begin your excursion to Daraw, home to one of Egypt’s most extensive camel markets. The majority of these camels journey in convoys from Sudan’s regions of Darfur and Kordofan via the Darb Al Arba’een (Forty Days Road), eventually making their way just north of Abu Simbel where they are then transported to Daraw by truck. It presents a captivating spectacle, particularly when the trade is bustling with up to 2000 camels.
