Tour to El Fayoum Oasis and Whales Valley and

Waterfalls of Wadi El-Rayan

Departure: 7:00 AM

Pickup: From your hotel in Cairo for a 1-hour drive to the Fayoum Oasis.

Morning: Tunis Village & Lake Qarun

Upon arrival, switch to a 4x4 vehicle to begin your off-road desert adventure.

  • Tunis Village: Nestled on a hill overlooking a vast saltwater lake, this charming village is famous for its vibrant pottery and stunning views where the greenery meets the desert. It is widely considered one of the most beautiful spots in Egypt.

  • Lake Qarun: Visit one of the oldest natural lakes in the world. As the third-largest lake in Egypt, it is a remnant of the ancient Lake Moeris and remains a vital sanctuary for migrating birds.

Afternoon: Wadi El Rayan & The Waterfalls

Head deep into the protectorate to visit Wadi El Rayan.

  • The Waterfalls: Experience the largest natural waterfalls in Egypt, a unique phenomenon connecting the upper and lower lakes of the depression.

  • Wildlife: Keep an eye out for desert wildlife, such as the rare slender-horned gazelle, which occasionally roams the area.

The Valley of the Whales (Wadi Al-Hitan)

Continue to the UNESCO World Heritage site, Wadi Al-Hitan. This "Valley of the Whales" contains invaluable fossils of the earliest, now-extinct suborder of whales (Archaeoceti), providing a literal map of whale evolution from land to sea.

Desert Fun: Sandboarding & Magic Lake

End your daytime adventure at the Magic Lake and the surrounding giant sand dunes.

  • Sandboarding: Grab a board and slide down the dunes for an adrenaline rush in one of Egypt’s most picturesque desert settings.

Return: For the day-trip option, you will be driven back to your hotel in Cairo by the evening.


Exclusive Overnight Camping Option (Extra $100 per person)

Extend your adventure by staying overnight in the desert under the stars:

  • Evening: After sandboarding, head to a private campsite. Enjoy a traditional Chicken Mandy dinner (slow-cooked underground) while stargazing far from the city lights.

  • Second Day: Wake up to a traditional Egyptian countryside breakfast featuring Feteer Meshaltet (flaky pastry), black honey, farm cheese, Halawa, and hot drinks.

  • Return: After breakfast, enjoy a final view of the dunes before heading back to Cairo.


Quick Tips for Fayoum:
