Tour Plan

Pick up

At 7 am, our representative will meet you at your selected location with a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle to start your day trip to Fayoum from Cairo. 

Journey to Fayoum Oasis

El-Fayoum Oasis is located in the western desert of Egypt, approximately 100 km from Cairo. You’ll enjoy a 90-minute scenic journey to the tranquil oasis of El-Fayoum, where you can watch the beautiful desert landscape of Egypt.

Qarun lake

Our first stop at El-Fayum will be at the Qarun Lake, one of the hidden gems of Egypt, where you can enjoy the natural beauty of the lake, have a ride on a traditional boat, watch the rare birds, or relax while sipping a cup of Egyptian tea.

Wadi El Ryan national park

Wadi el-Rayan has been one of the most famous national parks of Egypt since 1989. You‘ll have an unforgettable adventure where you can enjoy the natural beauty of the desert, waterfalls, lakes, and dunes, in addition to seeing the remarkable site of Wadi Elhitan.

Wadi Al-Hitan

The valley of the whales, known in Arabic as “wadi El-Hitan”, is part of the Wadi El-Rayan National Park. It is designated as one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites due to the unique whale fossils that were found in this place.

Sandboarding Adventure

After finishing our tour at Wadi Elhitan, you can have an exciting sandboarding adventure on the beautiful dunes of Wadi El-Rayan.

The Lakes & Waterfalls of Wadi el-Rayan

Then we will take a tour through the lakes and waterfalls of Wadi el-Rayan, which features two lakes, referred to as the upper and lower lakes, based on their location. The upper lake is an artificial one, which resulted in the formation of the lower lake and the waterfalls between the two lakes.

Visiting Tunis Village

The next part of our tour will be at the Tunis village. It is not a typical tourist village, instead an authentic site where you can immerse yourself in the Egyptian culture while enjoying luxurious facilities and services at the same time. There's plenty to do in Tunis village, such as visiting the Caricature Museum, learning about Egyptian pottery, or enjoying a fun horse ride.

Lunch time

During the Tunis village tour, we’ll stop at one of its authentic restaurants to have a delightful lunch featuring a variety of delicious local dishes.

Return to Cairo

After finishing our day trip to Fayoum from Cairo, you’ll relax in a comfortable vehicle to start the return journey to Cairo. Then we’ll drive you back to your hotel in Cairo.
