Escape the hustle and bustle of Cairo with a Fayoum tour from Cairo and discover the peaceful beauty of the Fayoum Oasis. This budget-friendly overnight getaway takes you southwest of the capital to explore a unique blend of natural landscapes, wildlife, and ancient history. During your Fayoum overnight tour from Cairo, enjoy the calm atmosphere of the oasis and discover some of its most remarkable attractions.
Continue on towards Wadi El Rayan and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Wadi El Hitan (Valley of the Whales), which is known for its truly remarkable fossil remains and desert scenery too. This Fayoum Oasis overnight tour makes a really nice choice for travelers wanting a slightly different experience from the usual Egypt day tour, and if you’re already planning your Cairo trip you can also bundle it with Cheap Giza Pyramids Tours, for a wider taste of Egypt’s ancient side and natural wonders.
Early in the morning, your New Travel Dynamics tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle and drive approximately 95 km to the Fayoum Oasis. The ancient Egyptians associated the area with the worship of Sobek, the crocodile god, and the oasis is still known for its historic waterwheels. Upon arrival, you’ll see the famous Seven Waterwheels, one of the iconic landmarks of Fayoum, before continuing your journey through the oasis.
Next visit Lake Qarun, one of Egypt oldest natural lakes and an important natural attraction in Fayoum. The surrounding area is known for its agricultural landscapes, fruit and vegetable farms and diverse birdlife, especially during the winter migration season. Take some time to enjoy the peaceful scenery before stopping for a picnic lunch.
Later continue your Fayoum tour with Wadi El Rayan and explore this protected natural area, designated as a protected area in 1989. Enjoy the beautiful lakes, waterfalls and desert landscapes, with time to relax and take in the scenery. After your day of exploration, we’ll transfer you to your Fayoum hotel for an overnight stay.
After breakfast continue your Fayoum and Wadi El Hitan tour with a visit to Wadi El Hitan (Valley of the Whales), a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its well-preserved fossil remains of ancient whales. Explore the open-air museum and discover the fossils and skeletons that provide fascinating evidence of the evolution of whales and the area’s ancient marine environment.
After exploring Wadi El Hitan continue a few hundred meters south along Wadi El Rayan Road to Mudawara Mountain. Although it is more of a distinctive rock formation than a traditional mountain, its beautifully layered rocks and symmetrical shape create an impressive desert landscape. Finally visit Karanis, an ancient Ptolemaic-era city where you can explore remains from the Greco-Roman period and learn more about Fayoum’s rich history. Together, these attractions make this Fayoum Oasis tour from Cairo a memorable way to discover the region’s natural and historical highlights.
After completing your Fayoum adventure we’ll transfer you back to your hotel in Cairo.
