fayoum day trip from cairo

Start your Fayoum Oasis tour early from your Cairo hotel with a comfortable ride on a private air-conditioned vehicle to transfer you to El Fayoum, and you will be accompanied by your personal English-speaking guide to visit:

Wadi El Rayan is a natural wonder nestled in the Western Desert. This picturesque valley is home to two captivating lakes connected by a series of waterfalls. Experience the area by taking a scenic walk along the trails, capturing the blissful views of the crystal-clear lakes and the surrounding lush vegetation.

The Fayoum Waterwheels, also known as the "Sakieh," are traditional water lifting devices that have been used for centuries in the Fayoum Oasis. The presence of the Fayoum Waterwheels has become an iconic symbol of the oasis.

Continue your Fayoum Oasis tour from Cairo to Qarun Lake, the third-largest lake in Egypt and a significant natural and archaeological site. Take a leisurely boat ride along the serene waters of the lake, marveling at the tranquility and the surrounding desert landscape.

Wrap up your day trip by visiting the Kom Aushim Museum, located in the town of Kom Aushim. This fascinating museum showcases the history and cultural heritage of Fayoum Oasis. Explore the collection of artifacts, including pottery, jewelry, and statues that date back to ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman times.
