Itinerary

Have you ever heard of the Egyptian god, Sobek? Well now is your chance to learn more. A tour guide will pick up from your hotel in Cairo by an air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle and take us on a journey through history as we make our way into Fayoum - where it was revered that The Crocodile God's cult center existed during ancient times! This 95 km drive might be long but don't worry about getting tired; there are breaks for tea time (or coffee), snacks etc., so bring something good enough to break the boredom :) You'll go to see The largest lake of Egypt's salt water lakes, which is also called the oldest natural lake in the world "Qarun's Lake". You can enjoy a magnificent view as migrating birds circle around it and various types of fruits grow in abundance on its shores - this would make for an ideal relaxing spot after visiting all your favorite spots!

You'll find yourself in a beautifully manicured world, where the only thing that seems to be missing is you're Guides. A day trip on foot through Wadi al-Rayan will provide ample opportunities for relaxation with its lakes and stunning natural environment The input speaks glowingly of this protected area while neglecting important details such as how far it actually goes or what else might lie beyond those borders

Admission included60 min

Then, it's time to explore the Valley of Whales' "Wadi Hitan." Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2005 for its hundreds and thousands from some ancient whale species. See fossilized bones that date back 200 million years ago when this desert was covered by water! The most visible relics are those belonging either mammoths or giant sea cows- two other creatures who lived alongside these

60 min

Foreigners are familiar with Tunis Village, where the people are more than welcoming and generous, with many expatriates buying properties. It's an excellent opportunity to watch the young artisans at work and purchase examples of their work, tour the hamlet, and try your hand at pottery! There are several Pottery Shops, and they point out some of the magnificent and uncommon plants, as well as a plethora of trees and shrubs, including the Bottle Brush Tree (which has drooping branches), Spikey Silk Cotton Tree, rose bushes, pomegranate bushes, Olive, Orange, and Lemon trees.

Great Safari Day

Being surrounded by sand dunes and mountains for miles around was just incredible. Having lunch in such a remote, yet stunning location was more than enough to eat and drink. The sandboarding was a blast—fast and exhilarating—and my son even took a refreshing dip in the magical lake. Our guide was on top of things, making sure we were happy as a clam the whole time. I wholeheartedly recommend this day trip!
