My mother recently came back from a vacation trip to Egypt. During her visit, she saw a tortoise walking in a tourist/souvenir store. The tortoise is owned by the owner of the store and claims the tortoise is 36 years old. The tortoise casually walks around the store and never leaves the door.



I examined the picture and I can't tell what species it is. I know for a fact its not a Testudo kleinmanni. I am not sure if its a Greek... although the one I had looked different.



Here are pictures:
