Discover Fayoum Magic Lake & Wadi El Hitan Fossil Adventure
A trusted partner experience, hand-picked and featured on This is Egypt.
Overview
You will explore the lesser-known landscapes of Fayoum with visits to the Magic Lake and Wadi El-Hitan. At the Magic Lake, crystal-clear water meets golden dunes. You can relax by the shore, walk short trails, or try sandboarding and light hiking as you take in the quiet desert setting. The contrast of water and sand creates calm views and simple outdoor options. At Wadi El-Hitan, a UNESCO World Heritage site, you will see fossilised remains of ancient whales that are over 40 million years old. Walk among these prehistoric bones and learn about the area’s ancient marine past as you move through the open desert. The Fossil & Climate Change Museum offers context on the fossils and on shifts in the environment over deep time. Along the way, you will take in wide desert vistas and a mix of natural and historical highlights. This experience combines nature, history and light adventure on a short trip from Cairo.
