Highlights
  • Faiyum Governorate - To visit Fayoum, await your vehicle’s departure to embark on an exploration that includes: 1
  • Qarun Palace: A notable landmark in the city of Fayoum, Egypt, the Qarun Palace stands out as one of the Ptolemaic temples, also referred to as the Temple of Ptolemy. Despite its unassuming exterior, the temple showcases exceptional architectural detail, particularly when the sun aligns directly with the sanctuary on September 21, marking the onset of winter. The temple may seem modest from the outside, but stepping inside reveals a captivating space brimming with mysteries to uncover.
    2
  • Wadi Al-Rayyan: Also known as the Faiyum waterfalls, this site is among the most celebrated attractions in Fayoum. The region’s unique topography, with its mix of lowlands and highlands, necessitated the construction of water channels to supply the elevated areas. Today, these waterfalls stand as a picturesque representation of Fayoum’s rural charm, and the city is home to nearly 200 water wheels, which have become its emblem.

  • White Desert: The White Desert earns its name from the predominant white hue that blankets much of the area, along with its massive chalk rock formations.
