Two Days Trip to Fayoum and Wadi El Hitan
Description
Escape to Egypt's hidden desert treasures on this private two-day Fayoum adventure. After a short one-hour drive from Cairo, your expert guide leads you through Fayoum's iconic water wheels—ancient irrigation systems still feeding the oasis from the Nile’s Bahr Yusuf canal. Marvel at Lake Qarun’s shimmering waters before enjoying authentic local cuisine. Continue to the breathtaking waterfalls of Wadi El Rayan and explore the ruins of Medinet Madi, dedicated to the snake goddess. In the evening, settle into your desert camp under a spectacular sky full of stars. The next morning, discover the world-famous Wadi El-Hitan (Valley of the Whales), a UNESCO World Heritage Site home to extraordinary prehistoric whale fossils. Then climb Mudawara Mountain for its panoramic views of the desert. Finally, explore Greco-Roman heritage at Qasr Qarun Palace and the ancient city ruins of Karanis before returning to Cairo with unforgettable memories of Egypt’s western desert.
