Whale Valley and Wadi El Rayan El Fayoum Day Tour from Cairo
A trusted partner experience, hand-picked and featured on This is Egypt.
Overview
This full-day tour from Cairo takes you off the beaten path to two of Egypt’s remarkable natural sites: Whale Valley and Wadi El Rayan Waterfalls. You’ll begin with a visit to Whale Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site where fossilised remains of prehistoric whales and other marine life lie exposed in the desert. Walking among these ancient bones will give you a direct glimpse into Egypt’s distant past and its changing landscapes. Later you’ll head to Wadi El Rayan, a desert oasis marked by cascading waterfalls and tranquil lakes. The contrast between the arid surroundings and the flowing water creates striking scenery, good for photography or simply relaxing by the shore. Along the way you’ll experience both the stark beauty of the desert and the calm of the oasis, exploring two very different natural wonders in one day.
