Itinerary
We start our day in Al-Muizz Cairo, where we will pick you up from your hotel at 7:00 a.m. to embark on a wonderful trip to Fayoum, a destination that embraces stunning nature and ancient history.
The first stop on our trip will be Wadi El Rayan, located in the Western Desert of Egypt, about 100 km from Cairo. Wadi El Rayan is a natural depression 42 meters below sea level and contains two lakes connected by waterfalls, the only ones in Egypt. This place has been classified as a protected area since 1989, to protect the biological, geographical, and cultural resources of the area. You can enjoy watching the diverse landscapes and rare wildlife, in addition to the monuments dating back to ancient civilizations.
One of the most exciting activities in Wadi El Rayan is sandboarding. We will equip you with skateboards to enjoy sledding on the wonderful sand dunes. This experience gives you a sense of excitement and fun, as you can slide down the sandy heights and fly through the air, making it an unforgettable experience.
Next, we will head to Wadi Al-Hitan, the Valley of the Whales. We will ride a 4x4 (Jeep) to reach this amazing site, which contains priceless fossil remains of the oldest known whale species, which show the evolution of these marine creatures. Wadi Al-Hitan is considered one of the most important sites in the world for studying the stages of marine life evolution, where you can see fossils dating back to previous historical periods, giving you a unique glimpse into the ancient environment. After a day full of adventures and memories, we will return you to the hotel in Cairo, where you will keep wonderful memories of this unique experience.

“We had a great time on this tour! The felucca ride was incredibly relaxing with stunning views of the water and surrounding nature. The sandboarding on the desert dunes was a highlight—so much fun. Lunch was delicious, and it was fascinating to see how local pottery is made. Everything felt well-organized, and our guide was really friendly. Highly recommend!”

If you want to leave the city and explore more nature, this tour is for you! Omar did an amazing job from start to finish with his hospitality and information he provided about Egypt. We went through the desert to see the whale fossils, swam at Magic lake (fresh salt water) tried to sand board LOL, and visited the waterfalls. It was a different side of Egypt that is refreshing to see. Thank you!!

Fayoum Oasis is an amazing area …. Like a secret diamond… beautiful places but it’s a little bit far from Cairo (2 hours) … you should visit for relaxing from the crowded Cairo… Wear your swimsuit! You would like to swim definitely… The lunch was perfect and the hole experience… If a change something , that it was start earlier in morning (maybe 7 o clock) so don’t have too high temperature that had after 1-2 o clock

Fayoum was so beautiful! Our jeep traveled many kilometers in the desert, off road. We saw waterfalls, whale bones, lakes and the kids went sandboarding! It was a day to remember

A day that had everything! Tha highlights for me were: riding a 4x4 in the desert (our driver Mustafa knows the area like the palm of his hand), the visit to the… valley of whales (an UNESCO site), magical moments in the magic lake (you can swim there!) and sand boarding! Omar, who drove us from Giza to Fayoum, was with us all the time, was very helpful, and ensured our day is unforgettable!
Thank you for the review, and thank you for that day. I hope to see you next time.
