Itinerary
Your adventure begins at 7:00 AM with a convenient pick-up from your Cairo hotel, where you’ll embark on a scenic journey to the Fayoum Oasis, located approximately 95 km away.
First, you’ll visit the stunning Qaroun Lake, the largest saltwater lake in Egypt and one of the world’s oldest natural lakes. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the lake, where migratory birds flock in winter, and take in the surrounding fields of vibrant fruits and vegetables.
Next, head to Wadi El Rayan, a protected area established in 1989. This remarkable natural depression lies 42 meters below sea level and is home to two lakes connected by Egypt’s only waterfalls, formed in 1970 when farmland drainage overflowed. It’s a stunning and unique sight!
Your tour will continue with a visit to Mudawara Mountain, a striking rock formation located just a short distance from Wadi El Rayan. With its symmetrical, layered appearance, the mountain is a captivating natural feature that’s sure to leave you in awe.
After this enriching day, you’ll be comfortably transferred back to your hotel in Cairo, filled with memories of your exciting exploration of Fayoum’s natural beauty.
