Head south from Cairo to the Fayoum Oasis, where history and nature merge.
Itinerary
After pickup at your hotel, we will travel south to explore the Fayoum Oasis and its fertile landscape. This location is significant, as evidenced by the Meidum Pyramid, one of the oldest pharaonic pyramids from around 2,600 BC.
We will pass through the city of Fayoum and reach Lake Qarun, a key area of the Oasis with its salty waters located below sea level, covering several hundred square kilometers. At Lake Qarun, we will visit the Kas Karun archaeological site, featuring temples and fortresses from various historical periods.
The tour includes lunch on the banks of Lake Qarun, where you can observe the diverse local fauna, particularly its variety of bird species. In the evening, we will return to your hotel in Cairo.
