Overview

Beginning with a scenic drive into the Fayoum Oasis, you'll visit Wadi Hitan to see its fossilised whale skeletons and learn about the area's geological history. Along the way, you'll take a relaxing boat ride on Lake Qarun, enjoying the scenery and observing the diverse birdlife that inhabits the lake. In the afternoon you'll set out on an off‑road jeep safari across the desert, feeling the rush as you navigate the dunes and try sandboarding. The day ends with dinner at a local restaurant, where you'll savour the flavours of the Fayoum region. The itinerary can be customised to fit your interests, including adding destinations or adjusting the schedule. If you'll be up to an hour late, contact the provider and they will adjust accordingly.
