As I Embark this Egyptian Jorney, I take a train to the southern most city of Aswan. I have to remind all travellers that train journey is 15 to 20 times more expensive to a foreigner than for a local. So be prepared to pay a lot or the best way to travel Egypt is by Private buses which are very budget friendly. After reaching Aswan I take a affordable hostel called a s Go bag packers inn for 650 INR per night and then the very next morning I head out to Visit the legendary camel and animal market of Daraw which is 40 kms from aswan. I use the public transport to reach the bus station [2.5 pounds] and then take a 20 pounds bus to Daraw and a 15 pound tuk tuk to reach the Market and I was blown away by its sheer size and the number of traders operating here.

Known for its Sunday camel market, Daraw is otherwise a hot, dusty, and flyblown place. The camels come up from Sudan along the 40 Days Road. Traditionally, they made the trek on foot, but now more and more of them arrive in the backs of Toyota pickup trucks, which the camel drivers rent at Abu Simbel for the final leg of their trip. Merchants from Cairo, mostly, make their way to Daraw to take the camels back to Cairo. The camels sold on Sunday are mostly destined for slaughter; rural Egyptians say camels make the best kofta (meatball) kebabs.
On Tuesday, the Daraw market sells, in addition to camels, livestock: sheep, goats, cows, bulls, and poultry. Full of dust, tumult, and herders with whips, market days are nothing if not colorful and crowded with people and animals. However, while it's an exciting experience to push your way through the crowds, if you have a soft spot for four-legged creatures, you should brace yourself for the occasional upsetting sight. And it can be dangerous: Animals in crowded, unfamiliar surroundings can, and do, bolt. After you inspect the varieties of livestock and exchange views with Sudanese, Egyptians, and Beshari tribesmen about the animals, saunter over to the produce section before moving on to inspect the different sticks, staves, flyswatters, whips, and harness bits on sale here. Trading usually ends by 2 pm. In summer, the market is very hot and very odorous.
But visiting this market was an eye opener for me and one of the wildest experiences in my travels.
