Join our experienced tour guide bright and early morning in the hotel lobby in Cairo or anywhere in Giza or Cairo. Prepare for an extraordinary day as we embark on our Cairo day tour, venturing into Fayoum, Egypt’s largest oasis.
Fayoum is a vast Egyptian oasis that stands as a province on its own, notable for its rich agricultural landscape and fascinating history. In ancient times, it was home to the revered crocodile deity, Sobek. Over the years, this province has flourished thanks to the great reforms introduced by Muhammad Ali Pasha about two centuries ago.
Arriving in Fayoum, our first stop on this day tour from Cairo to Fayoum will be the charming village of Tunis, where we will immerse ourselves in the world of pottery art. Discover traditional techniques and craftsmanship that have been handed down from generation to generation in this picturesque village.
Next, feast your eyes on the scenic beauty of Lake Qarun, one of the oldest natural lakes in the world and the third largest in Egypt. While we enjoy the magnificent views, let the tranquility of this peaceful oasis wash over you, providing a much needed respite from the bustling city life.
Indulge in a delicious lunch during our Egypt tour in Fayoum, served at the welcoming Tunis Village. Next, we will take you to Wadi El Rayan, one of the true wonders of nature. Designated as a nature reserve in 1989, Wadi El Rayan is a unique protected area located in the Western Desert, approximately 42 meters below sea level.
Prepare to be amazed as you witness the only waterfalls in Egypt that connect two magnificent lakes. Formed in 1970 by the flow of waste water from the surrounding farmland in Fayoum, these alluring waterfalls created a stunning sight unseen anywhere else in the world – a veritable desert oasis with waterfalls!
In addition, during your stay in Fayoum, you will have the opportunity to experience the thrill of sand boarding, sliding on the golden sand dunes of Wadi El Rayan – an exhilarating adventure that will leave you with timeless memories.
As the day draws to a close, we’ll drive you back to Cairo, for a roughly two-hour road trip.
