Excursion to the Fayoum Oasis
- 10 Stunden
Head south from Cairo to explore the Fayoum Oasis, where history and nature converge.
Itinerary
After hotel pickup, we will travel south to the Fayoum Oasis, known for its fertile landscape. This area is significant, as evidenced by the Meidum Pyramid, one of the oldest pharaonic pyramids, dating from around 2,600 BC.
We will pass through the city of Fayoum and arrive at Lake Qarun, a key site in the Oasis. The lake features salty waters below sea level and covers several hundred square kilometres. At Lake Qarun, we will visit the Kas Karun archaeological site, where temples and fortresses from various historical periods remain.
We will then have lunch on the banks of Lake Qarun, where guests can observe the rich local wildlife, particularly various bird species. In the evening, we will return to the hotels in Cairo.
