Tour Itinerary

Explore the oasis of Fayoum, which is located 48 miles (80 kilometers) south of Cairo. The visitors, who choose to go for this private day tour, will have a very different feeling away from the capital. You will enjoy the agricultural landscape of vegetation. Rural life is one of the pleasant experiences of Al Fayoum. Your first destination will be Lake Moris as the Greeks called it but Arabs call it Lake Qarun. The Lake is an expansive one. It is not a big swimming spot, but even the sight of the lake on the edge of the desert is refreshing, and you can rent a rowing boat. The lake is now an important bird area where thousands of migratory birds rest during their winter migration pattern south, including large numbers of flamingos. Following this, you will drive the popular waterfalls of Wadi El Rayan. The waterfalls are beautifully connected to the lake; your tour guide will accompany you everywhere to explain all about the places you visit.

Travel has helped us to understand the meaning of life and it has helped us become better people. Each time we travel, we see the world with new eyes.

Absolutely mind blowing. A definite must see. We flew from Aswan after I contact them, as I did not want to sit in car for hours with my 10-year-old daughter. Just so much history and ancient love. You cannot miss this one thing if you are in Cairo. The rocks are just HUGE, so special.

I recently traveled with my wife, daughter, son in law and two grandsons (ages 4 and 2). We had a private tour experience. From the moment we landed at the airport on our arrival to the day we left we were treated with the utmost care and attention

Our trip to was wonderful. The accommodations and travel was seamlessly arranged by customer service rep, Mona, and we visited so many of the famous Egyptian antiquities. I would not have done the trip without the very knowledgeable guides, Ashraf and Mamdouh
