What to expect

Day 1: Cairo to El-Fayoum Tour
  1. Valley of the Whales (Wadi Al-Hitan)
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Our first day is dedicated to exploring the wonders of Wadi El Ryan, a Protected Area since 1989.

    Our journey begins with a visit to the Wadi Hitan Protected Area, also known as the Valley of the Whales. Located about 90 km from Fayoum, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to 40 million-year-old whale skeletons, a testament to the rich history of our planet. As we make our way to the Wadi El Rayan Water Falls, we'll stop by the majestic Mudawara Mountain.
  2. 1h
    Our next stop is the Wadi Al Ryan Water Falls, nestled in a natural depression in the western desert, 42m below sea level. 

    Wadi Rayan is a unique ecosystem featuring two lakes connected by Egypt's only waterfalls.

    It was formed in 1970 due to an overflow of drainage water from the farmlands in El-Fayoum.
  3. 1h · Admission ticket included
    Our journey continues to The Magic Lake is aptly named, as it appears like a vast spring emerging from nowhere. Here, you'll have the opportunity to tour in a small boat and enjoy sandboarding on the dunes.

    As the day ends, we'll set up camp for an overnight stay under the stars.
Day 2: Fayoum to Cairo
  1. Cairo
    2h
    After an unforgettable desert camping night of wild dancing, music, or even tranquil stargazing in the desert's HD sky.

    Day 2 will begin with a beautiful sunrise and a hearty breakfast at our camp. A comfortable vehicle will be ready to transport you back to Cairo, concluding this memorable journey.

    Optionally, you can visit Qasr Al Rahala, Qusur El Arab, and the Watermelon Valley before returning to Cairo.

    . Please note that for an additional fee, you can choose to stay at a hotel in El-Fayoum instead of camping in the desert.

    Join us at Sun Pyramids Tours, where we turn trips into unforgettable experiences.

    Kindly note that the mentioned accommodation is what included in the price and any change (from hotel to camp or vise versa), extra charge will be applied and the tour operator will notify you how much is it
