Itinerary:
The Wadi El Rayan and Fayoum Day Trip starts with Around Egypt Tours. In the early morning, an expert guide will meet you at your hotel in Cairo or Giza. Fayoum, Egypt's largest oasis and endowed with an agricultural history, lies some 95 kilometers south of Cairo. The temple was earlier home to the crocodile god, Sobek, but has witnessed far-reaching reforms under Mohammed Ali Pasha. The tour formally begins with the scenic two-hour drive to Fayoum. Upon reaching Fayoum, visit the quaint village of Tunis known for its pottery art school. Continue your tour of Lake Qarun, one of the oldest natural lakes in the world and the 3rd largest in Egypt, with its magnificent vista. Have a delicious lunch in Tunis Village before making your way to Wadi El Rayan. Declared a nature reserve, Wadi El Rayan offers breathtaking scenery and was officially announced in 1989. It sits at 42 meters below sea level in the Western Desert, featuring two connected lakes, Egypt's only waterfalls, and unique desert landscapes. Unlike any other, this view of natural waterfalls is due to the overflow of drainage water from the year 1970 downwards, which makes it all the more exceptional and beautiful. A thrilling sandboarding trip is also available in this picturesque desert situated in Wadi El Rayan. After this unforgettable experience, you will head back to Cairo with a quick stop along the way for freshening up or taking a drink. The fabulous trip includes lunch and unforgettable moments spent in the beautiful landscapes of Fayoum, making it a perfect supplement to any Cairo day tour.
