About this destination
Why travelers come to Fayoum
Fayoum is Egypt's escape hatch — a desert oasis just over an hour from Cairo where the pace changes completely. We visit Wadi El Rayan's man-made waterfalls (the only ones in Egypt), the Magic Lake at the edge of the dunes, and — for the curious — Wadi El Hitan, a UNESCO World Heritage site where 40-million-year-old whale skeletons sit in open desert. It's the tour we recommend for travelers who want Egypt's nature and silence, not only its monuments.
What’s included
- Wadi El Rayan waterfalls and twin lakes
- Magic Lake & golden sand dunes
- Wadi El Hitan (Valley of the Whales), UNESCO site
- Sandboarding and 4x4 desert safari options
