The Birqash Camel Market in Egypt

In the heart of Giza Governorate lies the Birqash Camel Market, one of the largest and most vibrant camel markets in the Middle East. As Eid al-Adha approaches, the market bursts into life with the movement of countless camels and the voices of seasoned traders from across Egypt and neighboring countries. The air is filled with the sounds of bargaining, the thud of camel hooves, and the timeless energy of deep-rooted tradition. These images capture the raw atmosphere of camel trading—where desert heritage, human connection, and the resilience of the animal converge beneath the Egyptian sun.
