If I am correct, though, we will pay him a visit before we leave. I am anxious to meet this man, who is apparently an amazing person. Taking into consideration the large number of mines in Egypt and our close proximity to an Egyptian Air Force base, I wouldn't be surprised at all if there were multiple mines near us. That uncertainty is one of the reasons you should never walk through the desert by yourself. If you happened upon a mine with a friend accompanying you, your chances of survival would be much greater than if you were alone.
Camel meat is eaten here in Egypt fairly often.
I can't be sure whether I have eaten camel, although I think I did once at a hotel. Buffets can and do serve many interesting foods. Ask your teacher how.
