Full-Day Fayoum Oasis and Waterfalls of Wadi El-Rayan Tour from Cairo

Overview

Get beyond the Cairo sights on a full-day, private tour to Al-Fayoum that explores nature, history, and wildlife in an ancient oasis. Visit the salty, scenic Lake Qarun, then explore the collection of Roman-era mummy portraits and statues in the Fayoum museum. Discover a series of waterfalls in the heart of the desert at Wadi El-Rayan, set sail on a traditional Egyptian felucca, and dine at a local restaurant before returning to the city.

Itinerary

Meet your guide at your Cairo hotel, and watch the city give way to orchards and green fields on the trip to Lake Qarun in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Spot some of the stunning birds that thrive at the edge of this salty lake, from black-necked grebes to ibis and flamingos. Continue to the local museum to see stunning examples of Fayoum’s mummy portraits, cloth panel paintings with distinctive Greco-Roman influence. Learn about local history and culture while exploring the museum with your guide, and don’t miss the remarkable collection of statues from regional archeological sites. Visit a local restaurant for an Egyptian-style lunch before heading to Wadi El-Rayan, to see the manmade waterfalls in the middle of the desert. Then take a scenic trip on a felucca, a wooden sailing boat with an elegant, gaff-rigged sail. Finish the day with return transfer to your hotel.
