Overview

On a full-day, private tour to Al‑Fayoum you'll get beyond Cairo's sights to explore an ancient oasis of nature, history and wildlife. The trip includes a visit to the salty, scenic Lake Qarun and a stop at the Fayoum Museum to view its collection of Roman‑era mummy portraits and statues. As you move through the region, you'll see Wadi El‑Rayan, where a series of waterfalls sits amid the desert landscape. Along the way you'll set sail on a traditional Egyptian felucca and spend time on the water, and you will dine at a local restaurant before returning to the city. The experience combines lakeside scenery, desert waterfalls and archaeological and artistic highlights, giving you a rounded sense of Al‑Fayoum's environment and heritage.
