The tour will highlight the Wadi El-Rayan Protected Area, established in 1989. The adventure begins with a visit to Wadi Hitan (Valley of the Whales), situated about 90 km from Fayoum. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its 40-million-year-old whale skeletons, providing remarkable insights into one of the greatest evolutionary mysteries: the transformation of whales from land-dwelling mammals to ocean-going creatures.

On the way to the Wadi El-Rayan Waterfalls, there will be a stop at Mudawara Mountain to enjoy breathtaking views of the Fayoum oasis. The journey continues to Wadi El-Rayan Waterfalls, a natural desert depression featuring two interconnected lakes and Egypt’s only waterfalls, created in 1970 by the overflow of farmland drainage waters. This distinctive landscape combines natural beauty with geological importance, making it a highlight of the day.
