Escape from Cairo’s hustle and bustle to the ancient oasis of Al-Fayoum on this private trip with an Egyptologist at the helm.

Visiting Fayoum was a nice day out of Cairo, and Hossam was great about answering all of our questions. The lunch with the family was very good, but the bathroom was wet and there was no toilet paper so come prepared.
