Everything worked very smoothly. Our guide was friendly and efficient and had interesting information about the areas we went through.. Our driver handled the rough roads very well. The felluca ride was fun and the valley of the whales was interesting, with stunning landscape. It might have been better to do the desert walk first, before the other stops, as we ended up there at the hottest part of the day. Overall a fun and worthwhile day!

We had a wonderful experience in El Fayoum National Park, far away from the chaos of Cairo. It’s a truly beautiful place, both for its stunning landscapes and its peaceful atmosphere. Our guide, Zizou, was very kind and shared many interesting facts about the area and its local history. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to discover a different side of Egypt.

Nach vier Tagen in Kairo brauchten wir dringend etwas Abwechslung fernab der Großstadt. Der Ausflug in die Faijum-Oase war dafür perfekt. Mit eigenem Fahrer und vor allem dem freundlichen und inhaltlich versierten Tour-Guide Zizou war alles von vorne bis hinten durchgeplant, sodass wir uns um nichts kümmern mussten. Selbst auf Extrawünsche entlang des Weges wurde eingegangen: So fanden wir uns in den Sanddünen surfend wieder beim "Sandboarding". Auch ein kurzer Kamelritt wäre möglich gewesen. Definitiv dabei ist eine kurze Fahrt mit einem Feluca-Boot (15 Minuten). Der dortige Pier war die einz

We had a day spare after visiting the various 'must-sees' in cairo. The Fayoum trip was a great way to experience a bit more (and a very different side) of the country. Hosni and his driver took us around in a very comfortable minibus, tailored the trip to our needs and interests. It was a bit of driving (4hrs at least) but with various stops and well worth it. The oasis was interesting - not how we imagined - so definitely learned something and you get a better idea of the desert. It's not a must do but would definitely recommend if you have time to spare. Also used Hosni as our guide to do t
