3 Days Private Trip to Wadi El Hitan and Fayoum Oasis from Cairo

Overview

This experience takes you from Cairo into the Fayoum Oasis to enjoy a mix of desert landscapes and ancient sites. You will visit Wadi El Hitan, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its exceptionally preserved ancient whale fossils. Along the way, you will explore Lake Qarun and see vast sand dunes that offer opportunities for thrilling jeep rides. The trip also includes visits to the ruins of Dimeh el Sabah and the archaeological complex of Qaser Al Sagha, where the landscape and remains illustrate the region’s long human and natural history. You will spend a night in the peaceful Tunis Village, taking in the oasis atmosphere away from the city. As you move through the area, the itinerary will lead you to the Hawara and Meidum Pyramids, both important remnants of ancient engineering and royal ambition. Overall, the programme combines desert experiences, fossil sites and archaeological highlights so you can experience the quieter, lesser-known beauty of the Fayoum.
