The baksheesh experience During my first visit, my husband and I were dropped by our private tour guide close to the Giza Pyramids so that we could hop on a couple of camels. We set off and immediately the camel drivers began yelling ‘ baksheesh, baksheesh' . The camels seemed to get faster and faster. We jokingly guessed that, to the camel, the word ‘ baksheesh ' meant ‘hurry'. We promised baksheesh, of course, the driver calmed, as did the camels, and we continued our exhilarating journey around the pyramids and to the Sphinx in a more leisurely fashion. Carole French
