Camel

Camels became significant in Egypt later for transportation and trade.

They were primarily used for long-distance trade caravans, carrying goods such as spices, incense, precious metals, and luxury items between Egypt, Nubia (present-day Sudan), and other regions. They played a crucial role in connecting Egypt to other parts of Africa, the Middle East, and beyond.

The trade routes facilitated by camels allowed for the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultural influences, contributing to the economic and cultural prosperity of ancient Egypt. The camel caravans enabled the transportation of goods that were vital for the development of the civilization, including food, construction materials, and military supplies.

Today, camels are sometimes used for desert rides near the pyramids as a tourist activity.
