Itinerary

Your exciting day begins with a pickup from your hotel in Cairo, followed by a drive to El Fayoum. Upon arrival, you'll switch to a 4x4 vehicle to start your tour.

First, you'll visit Tunis Village, a picturesque settlement located in the Fayoum oasis, on the way to Wadi Rayan. Nestled on a hill overlooking a stunning saltwater lake, Tunis offers breathtaking views of the desert and is known as one of the most beautiful spots in Egypt.

Next, you’ll explore Qarun Lake, one of the oldest natural lakes in the world and the third-largest lake in Egypt. Enjoy the serene surroundings and take in the scenic beauty of this historic body of water.

Then, you’ll head to Wadi El Rayan, famous for its stunning waterfalls—the largest in Egypt. Experience this natural phenomenon and take in the refreshing ambiance of the cascading waters.
