Overview

The Valley of the Whales, a burial ground for ancient fossilized whales, is one of Egypt’s most fascinating and less-visited sites. Discover it without the self-drive stress on this full-day private guided tour of the Al-Fayoum area with 2-way transfers from your hotel or vacation rental. Besides the Valley of the Whales, you’ll see the tumbling falls of Wadi El-Rayan, swim in Magic Lake, and enjoy an included lunch.

My family took this tour yesterday and it was really lovely. The information and sights were fabulous, and the hospitality we received at the hands of Lobna (our tour guide), Mohammad (our driver), and Mohammad (our in-adventure driver and host for lunch) was just wonderful! We had a great day.

Wael was a great guide, so knowledgeable, with excellent English language skills. We enjoyed the desert scenery. Learning about the fossil whales was fascinating. The driver took us hurtling over the dunes in a rollercoaster ride!
