Itinerary
adi Al-Hitan "Whale Valley" is a paleontological site in the Faiyum Governorate of Egypt, some 150 km southwest of Cairo.[1] It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site[2] in July 2005[3] for its hundreds of fossils of some of the earliest forms of whale, the archaeoceti (a now extinct sub-order of whales). The site reveals evidence for the explanation of one of the greatest mysteries of the evolution of whales: the emergence of the whale as an ocean-going mammal from a previous life as a land-based animal. No other place in the world yields the number, concentration and quality of such fossils, as is their accessibility and setting in an attractive and protected landscape.[4] This is why it was added by the UNESCO to the list of protected World Heritage sites.[5] The fossils found at the site may not be the oldest but their great concentration in the area and the degree of their preservation is to the extent that even some stomach contents are intact.
The valley of Wadi El-Rayan is an area of 1759km2, 113km2 of which are the dominating water body of the Wadi El Rayan lakes. It is located about 65km southwest of Faiyum city and 80km west of the Nile River. The Wadi has been used for man-made lakes from agricultural drainage which has made a reserve of the two separate Wadi El Rayan Lakes. The reserve is composed of a 50.90km2 upper lake and a 62.00km2 lower lake, with waterfalls between the two. Among the springs, there are three sulphur springs at the southern side of the lower lake, with extensive mobile sand dunes. Wadi El Rayan Waterfalls are considered to be the largest waterfalls in Egypt. At the south and southeast of the springs is Gabal Manqueer Al Rayan, where marine fossils and archeological remains are found. Gabal Madwera, near the lower lake, is known for its extensive dune formations. In the northwest is Wadi El Hitan, a protectorate containing fossils of extinct whales
We will stop in the watermelon valley to discover the area and take photos, then we will visit the Magic lake and play with the sand board. in the middle of the tour we will have lunch in local restaurant. At the end we will visit Al-rayan valley to take photos near the waterfalls
One of the most beautiful lakes in Egypt, overlooking sand dunes, is the Magic lake. Beautiful lake located in Wadi El Rayan in Fayoum. It was named the Magic lake.

Impressive and off the beaten track. Service was excellent, both the attention of Adi, the person responsible for the organization and that of the two drivers. We went from Cairo to El Fayoun in a mini bus firebomb just for the four of us. Once there, a jeep awaited us with a very expert driver who worked wonders up and down dunes and taking us to places with incredible scenery. We also did sandboarding and visited an oasis with a waterfall on Lake Qarum. Inolvidable.
Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia tan bonita con nosotros 🌿✨. Nos alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutaron de su día en El Fayoum y que tanto la organización como nuestros conductores hicieron de su recorrido algo inolvidable. El oasis, las dunas y la aventura en jeep son realmente mágicos, y saber que se llevaron esos recuerdos únicos nos llena de orgullo. ¡Esperamos volver a recibirlos muy pronto para seguir explorando juntos más tesoros de Egipto! 🇪🇬💛 Con cariño, El equipo de ADI Tours
