Itinerary
Step 1
We start our day in Al-Muizz Cairo, where we will pick you up from your hotel at 7:00 a.m. to embark on a wonderful trip to Fayoum, a destination that embraces stunning nature and ancient history.
Step 2
The first stop on our trip will be Wadi El Rayan, located in the Western Desert of Egypt, about 100 km from Cairo. Wadi El Rayan is a natural depression 42 meters below sea level and contains two lakes connected by waterfalls, the only ones in Egypt. This place has been classified as a protected area since 1989, to protect the biological, geographical, and cultural resources of the area. You can enjoy watching the diverse landscapes and rare wildlife, in addition to the monuments dating back to ancient civilizations.
Step 3
One of the most exciting activities in Wadi El Rayan is sandboarding. We will equip you with skateboards to enjoy sledding on the wonderful sand dunes. This experience gives you a sense of excitement and fun, as you can slide down the sandy heights and fly through the air, making it an unforgettable experience.
Step 4
Next, we will head to Wadi Al-Hitan, the Valley of the Whales. We will ride a 4x4 (Jeep) to reach this amazing site, which contains priceless fossil remains of the oldest known whale species, which show the evolution of these marine creatures. Wadi Al-Hitan is considered one of the most important sites in the world for studying the stages of marine life evolution, where you can see fossils dating back to previous historical periods, giving you a unique glimpse into the ancient environment.
After a day full of adventures and memories, we will return you to the hotel in Cairo, where you will keep wonderful memories of this unique experience.
