A beautiful morning drive over the scenic from Cairo to El Fayoum, a very historical and natural place to spend a day. After that, one can visit Quarun Lake, which is Egypt's largest saltwater lake, where various birds can be found and where one can escape the busy city and find some peace. Visit the ancient Greco-Roman city of Karanis, where many temples and artifacts are preserved. Visitors are given an insight into life thousands of years ago.
Move to the beautiful Wadi El Rayan: a reserve of all nature, famous for its magnificent waterfalls, which happen to be the only waterfalls in Egypt. And, of course, the golden desert dunes surrounding it add to the beauty of the cascading waters, with a delightful opportunity to see some rare wildlife, like the endangered sand foxes and some gazelles. For the brave heart, a short boat ride or sandboarding on its dunes would do.
Then, fetch pictures from the viewpoint of Mudawara Mountain before you start again to Cairo. The panoramic beauty of the desert with glistening lakes around will find its way into some beautiful photographs of one's serenity at El Fayoum. Then, off you go at the end of the day on a wonderfully comfortable journey, heading back to Cairo, countered by some unforgettable memories of the deep, hidden natural and historic treasures of Egypt.
