After they exited the Great Pyramid, Shyma wanted to go to the Sphinx on foot, despite the hot weather, to enjoy the view. During the walk to the Sphinx, a camel owner offered to carry them free of charge. Ata was very happy to hear that and accepted the camel ride, saying, “this confirms what I heard about the generosity of the Egyptians.”
