What to expect
Day 1: Cairo to El-Fayoum Tour
Cairo Governorate
1h
Embark on an unforgettable journey with us, where we promise to make every moment count. Our representative will greet you at your Cairo hotel at 07:00 am, marking the beginning of an exciting adventure to El Fayoum, a city rich in history and culture, located approximately 95 km from Cairo.
Valley of the Whales (Wadi Al-Hitan)
1h · 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.
2h
As we make our way to the Wadi El Rayan Water Falls, we'll stop by the majestic Mudawara Mountain. 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.
2h
Our journey continues to the Magic Lake, a mesmerizing salty lake in the heart of the desert. 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. Meals included Lunch and dinner.
Day 2: Fayoum to Cairo
