Following a meeting with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta), Scott Dunn halted all sales of trips to Egypt which included the offering.
According to Peta, eyewitnesses at tourist sites in the north African country saw camels being beaten with sticks before being sold to the tourism industry, while also being denied access to food, water, and shade.
"In line with our responsible travel policy and its pillar of protecting the environment and wildlife, Scott Dunn has suspended the promotion and sale of all camel rides in Egypt," said Scott Dunn global sales and product director Simon Lynch.
"Peta Asia’s investigation highlighted the cruel conditions faced by camels and horses used for tourist rides. We will also aim to remove camel rides from our product range to encompass all destinations worldwide."
