Overview

Your tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Cairo, and we’ll head out on a scenic 95 km drive to El Fayoum, passing by Qarun Lake where you’ll learn about its rich history. Our first stop is Wadi El Rayan, a stunning protected area known for its beautiful landscapes. After a rest at the camp, we’ll take a 4x4 ride to Wadi Hitan (Valley of the Whales), a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with fascinating ancient fossils. Then, we’ll visit Magic Lake, where you can enjoy a swim in the cool waters. Next, we’ll explore Egypt’s only waterfalls, a beautiful natural attraction in the desert. On the way back to the camp, we’ll pass by Mudawara Mountain for a view of the surrounding desert. At the camp, you’ll enjoy a delicious BBQ lunch, sip Bedouin tea with cardamom, and have the chance to try sandboarding with expert guidance. After an action-packed day, we’ll return to your hotel in Cairo, leaving you with unforgettable memories of this unique desert adventure.
