Enjoy a trip to Fayoum, which has been significant since the Pharaohs' day. With a crocodile head and a human body, Sobek is its most well-known deity.

Enjoy the waterfalls, the only one of their kind in Egypt. They are natural waterfalls, not artificial, as the excess agricultural drainage from some Fayoum centers was released into the Wadi El Rayan depression in the seventies. The Wadi El Rayan waterfalls area is considered one of the most important tourist and aesthetic sights, in which geological monuments, diverse eras, water, plants, animals and birds harmonize.

Come and spend a day alone at Wadi El Hitan (Whale Valley), located in the Western Desert of Egypt and part of the Fayoum Governorate, the gateway to the Sahara Desert. Wadi El Hitan contains precious fossil remains of ancient whale species that are now extinct and represent fossilized remains of stations that some scientists believe represent the evolution of whales from land mammals to marine mammals. Wadi El Hitan is considered one of the largest sites in the world that bears witness to this stage of development.

Enjoy one of our daily tours from Aswan to Fayoum and spend a day in an area of Egypt completely different from Aswan.

The percentage of remains found in any region or period of time ranges between 2.5% and 13% only, and that the Wadi El Hitan Reserve was part of the Mediterranean Sea, approximately 40 million years ago, which made it rich in rare fossils, in addition to the skeletons of many other animals and fish such as sharks and bony fish.

You will then be transferred to Wadi El Rayan and the waterfalls after enjoying a delicious local lunch in Tunis Village.
