Take the throngs away from Cairo and head into the very heart of the Egyptian countryside for a stimulating and engaging day in a typical Egyptian village. Pick up from your hotel in the morning, then drive over rolling countryside views to a Nile Delta-side village or on the fringe of the Fayoum Oasis. On arrival, be welcomed by the villagers who will introduce you to the pulse of day-to-day village life. Walk along tight alleys lined by mudbrick homes, visit nearby farms on which sugarcane and wheat are grown, and learn about ancient irrigation systems and centuries-old family agricultural traditions.
Enjoy an Egyptian home-cooked meal with a host family, with fresh organic ingredients and traditional foods like molokhia, feteer meshaltet, and roasted vegetables. Subsequently, participate in hands-on activities such as bread-making in a clay oven, pottery, or a donkey cart ride through the fields. This tour gives a glimpse behind Egyptian monuments—an experience of getting close to the pulse of the country and the people.
At sunset, return to Cairo with a newfound respect for Egypt's rural way of life and warm hospitality.
