From anywhere in Luxor, we can transfer you to Luxor airport to take your flight to Cairo after that our guide will accompany you in a modern vehicle to Fayoum to start your amazing one-day adventure from Luxor.
We will start our excursion with a visit to Wadi El Rayan, one of Egypt's natural wonders and home to the country's only waterfall. Although the falls are not very tall, they provide a refreshing escape for locals and tourists alike, especially those who have never seen waterfalls in the country before. In fact, the waterfall has been featured in many popular Egyptian movies and videos. The history of Wadi El-Rayan dates back to ancient Egypt, when the famous pharaohs Ptolemy I and Amenemhat I initiated hydraulic projects to create a waterfall in the area. They succeeded in diverting water to the surface of the dried-up lake and transformed the Fayoum oasis into the Garden of Egypt. The waterfall was originally formed by the drainage of sewage from Fayoum's agricultural lands.
Our second place for the day is Wadi al-Hitan, which is an oasis of breathtaking beauty, hills of golden sand and eroded rocks that create an enchanting picture, but what distinguishes this valley are its treasures buried under the sand, which are fossils of whales that tell the story of the evolution of life on Earth, so the desert is home to hundreds of structures of huge whales and various types of sea creatures buried under the sand due to violent climate changes, Wadi El-Rayan is part of the Wadi El-Rayan Reserve, but Wadi El-Hitan was a separate nature reserve, then became part of the Wadi El-Rayan Reserve in 1997, and the larger reserve includes the Wadi El-Rayan waterfalls area, Madoura Mountain, the lower lake area and the Wadi El-Hitan area, which has become a World Heritage Site.
We will also take you to Cairo International Airport at the end of the day so you can catch your flight back to Luxor.
