Itinerary:

A full-day tour to Fayoum Oasis & Waterfalls of Wadi El-Rayan from Cairo begins early in the morning when the guide will meet you in your hotel in Cairo/Giza to take your journey from Cairo into Fayoum, Egypt's largest oasis. The drive down from Cairo to Fayoum should take roughly two hours, with views of beautiful desert and farmland on the way. An escape for the people of Cairo, Fayoum is also well-known for its natural landscape, pottery, and old traditions. While there, first visit the quaint Tunis Village famous for its art and pottery workshops, and then continue the journey to Lake Qarun, believed to be one of the world's oldest natural lakes and third largest in Egypt.

In Tunis Village, after lunch, the journey to Wadi El Rayan Fayoum begins. The natural protectorate was established in 1989 amid great natural magnificence. There are two beautiful lakes connected by the only waterfall in Egypt; the scene stands enthralling in the middle of the desert. This makes Wadi Rayan Fayoum an excellent spot to relax and watch birds or even go sandboarding. The union of desert dunes, clean water lakes, and roaring waterfalls makes Fayoum's Wadi El Rayan one of Egypt's offbeat treasures.

After enjoying the scenery and some free time, you’ll travel back from Fayoum to Cairo, stopping briefly for refreshments along the way. This incredible Cairo to Fayoum day tour combines history, adventure, and natural beauty—an ideal addition to any Egypt day tour.
