Qarun Lake - Have you ever heard of the Egyptian god, Sobek? Now is your chance to learn more! A tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo in an air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle and take you on a historical journey to Fayoum, where the cult center of The Crocodile God was believed to exist in ancient times.
This 95 km drive may be long, but don’t worry about getting tired; there are breaks for tea, coffee, snacks, etc., so bring something enjoyable to pass the time.
You’ll visit the largest of Egypt’s saltwater lakes, also known as the oldest natural lake in the world, “Qarun’s Lake.” Enjoy a breathtaking view as migrating birds circle above and various fruits grow abundantly on its shores, making it an ideal spot to relax after visiting your favorite sites!
-
Wadi El-Rayan - Discover a beautifully maintained world where the only thing missing is your guide. A day trip on foot through Wadi al-Rayan offers ample opportunities for relaxation with its lakes and stunning natural environment.
The description speaks highly of this protected area but omits important details such as its extent or what else might lie beyond its borders. -
Valley of the Whales (Wadi Al-Hitan) - Next, explore the “Wadi Hitan,” the Valley of Whales. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2005, it features fossils from ancient whale species. See fossilized bones dating back 200 million years when this desert was underwater! The most visible relics belong to mammoths or giant sea cows, two other creatures that lived alongside these whales.
-
Tunis Village Faiyum - Foreigners are familiar with Tunis Village, where the locals are welcoming and generous, with many expatriates purchasing properties. It’s a great opportunity to watch young artisans at work, purchase their creations, tour the village, and try your hand at pottery!
There are several pottery shops, and they highlight some magnificent and rare plants, as well as a variety of trees and shrubs, including the Bottle Brush Tree (with drooping branches), Spikey Silk Cotton Tree, rose bushes, pomegranate bushes, and Olive, Orange, and Lemon trees.
