Overview

Beside the whales, your guide will chauffeur you to other Al-Fayoum highlights: the Qarun salt lake, an ancient temple, Karanis, a ruined Greco-Roman city, and the dramatic falls at Wadi El-Rayan. Food, accommodation, and entrance fees included.

Really an incredible tour. Exceeded our expectations. Not an easy night with a wind/sand storm and the heat but all part of the experience. Our guides went above and beyond. They were fantastic! Not for people who can’t really “rough it” for 24 hours.

Conductores muy amables. El lugar y experiencia valen mucho la pena. Pero seria bueno tratar de cuidar el estado de los vehiculos y la comunicacion a detalle de los tiempos y distancias durante toda la visita.
