I took my family of four to Fayoum and we saw the waterfalls and the mountain. The total cost for entry was 400 pounds for all of us. The waterfall visit took forty five minutes. The atmosphere was playful and wet. There were many families that day around thirty people. The staff helped us find a good spot for photos. Best for families with young kids. My daughter asked me why the water falls and I could not answer. So I made up a story about a giant who cried there. She believed me. That made me feel like a good dad.

I went with my brother on this Fayoum tour. He loves history so we focused on Wadi Hitan. The entry fee was 125 pounds. We spent one hour and thirty minutes at the whale valley because we read every sign. The atmosphere was serious and quiet. There were only five other visitors that day. The staff including the guide Mostafa waited for us without rushing. Best for friends who love learning. We found a spot where you could see a whole whale spine in the rock.My brother took twenty photos. Then he thanked Mostafa for being so patient. That was a good brother moment.

We had an incredible trip to Fayoum with Ahmed, and later Magdi joined us to take us through the sites. Ahmed was kind, patient, helpful, and extremely informative throughout the day. Magdi was a talented desert driver who truly cared about making the experience unforgettable. One of the highlights was sandboarding—although getting back up the hill was another story! It was so steep that my friend and I almost couldn’t make it back, and Ahmed actually came down to rescue us from the bottom. Lunch was included and absolutely delicious—authentic cuisine made with love. If you’re looking for a un

Everything was excellent! Our guide, Ahmed, was extremely professional and punctual. He listened to our wishes, gave us time whenever we needed, and shared great insights—he is very knowledgeable about Egypt’s culture and traditions. Our driver, Mustafa, was also excellent and drove us through the desert sites safely. The meal was traditional and very tasty, served in a beautiful place with lovely surroundings. Highly recommended!

The experience is amazing. Pick up at the hotel by the driver Omar (best guide ever). Trip to the place we changed to the 4-wheel drive car. Great Bedouin driver of the 4WD car, in the desert tour (up and down the dunes). A lot of fun at magic lake, sandboarding, waterfall, Valley of the Whales, awesome photos. great lunch in the camp and back to the hotel in time. We learned so much and saw so many things during this trip. Very memorable for us all. in short, fantastic. Thank you again for the incredible day

I had not heard about the area before but I’m glad I took it because my tour guide Amr showed me around the historical city. It was a very memorable visit that I would recommend all visitors take because I’m glad I went. The water falls are a must-see and to top off the experience, he arranged an exclusive lunch of local pigeon and it was delicious.
