Half my camel wish
Looks like I’m going to have to back away from one of my camel wishes. I heard tonight that camel is not a common food item in Egypt. I know it is in at least one other Arab country. So I made a brash assumption leap. Back to keeping my eyes open and my mouth shut.
Anyway, I also heard tonight that tomorrow might be a good day for the other camel wish–to go riding with Johnny.
We expect to go to Saqqara to see the step pyramid, the first pyramid in Egypt. I read about it in Eyewitness Travel Top 10–Cairo & the Nile, but hadn’t expected to be going. And I hear that camel ride opportunities abound there.
P.S. The Eyewitness Travel guides are my favorites–so many great photos to get you ready for traveling, whether in your armchair or via other mode of transport.

About your hope for camel meat in your Egyptian cuisine:
Would a foreigner, on the first visit to our U.S.A., hope for horse meat?? (Of course, some folks do enjoy bull riding !)
)
You should go to Inner Mongolia in China. I’ve been there a couple times and know that you can eat camel meat there :)
