In the hotel, you will take your tasty meal before meeting your tour guide to take you from Cairo to el Fayoum.
The city of Fayoum was one of the Egyptian regions in Pharaonic eras and was an important centre for fishing as it was centreed around Lake Qarun, and this area continued as an important residential area in Egypt until Roman ages, especially as it was a special area for Greek immigrants, and the residents of the Fayoum Governorate were an important factor in expelling the English occupation in Egypt.
A visit to this city will start with a visit to Wadi Al-Rayyan, which is a depression created in the 1960s to redirect agricultural drainage water from Fayoum to the depression in southern Fayoum, which is famous for the waterfalls that connect the two industrial lakes located there.
What makes it most special is that it includes natural sulphur springs, moving dunes, desert plants, and some mountains, such as Jabal Al-Mudawra, where you can do many activities such as safari, climbing, or even sandboarding.
Then you shall enter the Valley of the Whales, which happens to be one of the geologically vital tourist sites of the entire world since it happens to be the best site of geological stance of the whale in the world and this categorization came about as a result of the United Nations Educational scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in the present century.
The most important feature of this open museum is that it has many wonderful things, including the presence of more than 400 fossilized whale skeletons, including whales that existed millions of years ago, and there are rare species of whales such as Doriodon Athrox and Basilosaurus Isis and many other species, as the reserve contains fossils of shark teeth, turtles, marine sediments, and even some plants.
You will then have lunch at one of Fayoum's wonderful restaurants before returning to your hotel in Cairo.
