Itinerary

Early in the morning, around 7 o’clock, our expert tour guide will pick you up to start your tour experience. Drive to El Fayoum province, which is located 95 km southeast of Cairo. Start your trip by visiting Wadi El Rayan, a nature preserve. It consists of the Wadi El Rayan depression and the Valley of the Whales. The Wadi El Rayan depression has two salt lakes formed by agricultural drainage water in 1970. The two lakes are connected by amazing, beautiful waterfalls.
Then drive to Wadi El Hitan, or Valley of the Whales, which is located 90 km east of El Fayoum. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2005 for its hundreds of fossils of some of the earliest forms of whales. The site reveals evidence that helps explain one of the greatest mysteries of the evolution of whales. 
After that, drive to Mudawara Mountain, which is located next to the lower lake.
Drive to Medinet Madi, which has the ruins of the best-preserved temple from the Middle Kingdom, built by Amenemhat III and IV. On the way to Lake Qarun, stop for lunch in Tunis Village, which is famous for its amazing pottery. After lunch, enjoy walking next to Lake Qarun.  
Finally, drive back to Cairo.
