Day Tour to El Fayoum: Enjoy Hotel Pickup for an Exciting Adventure to the Charm of Tunis Village in Fayoum. Discover Qarun Lake and Wadi El Rayan, and Gain Insights into Fossils in Whale Valley.



Today's tour begins in Cairo, leaving visitors behind to embark on a day trip to El Fayoum. Guests will first visit a charming Tunis Village located within the Fayoum region. Here, they will observe the stunning scenery of a large saltwater lake and appreciate the stark contrast between the desert backdrop and the oasis setting.

The itinerary then takes them to explore Qarun Lake, one of the oldest natural lakes in the world, situated as the third largest in Egypt. They will also encounter Wadi El Rayan, a magnificent waterfall system, making it the second-largest in the country. The spectacular view of Wadi El Rayan’s cascades is sure to captivate visitors.

Following their exploration of Wadi El Rayan, guests will venture into Whale Valley (Wadi Al-Hitan), a remarkable geological formation in the western desert of Egypt. This location holds significant historical importance as it has yielded evidence of early whale species, offering insights into the evolutionary history of these marine mammals.

Afternoon leisurely activities involve sampling local delicacies during a pleasant lunch served at a nearby restaurant. Following the meal, participants may opt for an exhilarating activity such as sandboarding, which offers a thrilling ride down the sandy slopes.

To conclude the day, the group will return to Cairo, ending their tour at their accommodation. For those seeking an enhanced experience, there is an optional overnight add-on available. During this period, guests will enjoy a gourmet dinner prepared underground, showcasing traditional Egyptian cooking techniques. Upon awakening, they will witness the star-studded sky while savoring a sumptuous breakfast infused with Feteer Meshaltet, a unique blend of ingredients including black honey, halwa, and hot beverages.

The final leg of the journey back to Cairo marks the successful conclusion of today’s extraordinary expedition.
