Valley of Whales and Wadi El Rayan Water Falls Day Tour from Cairo

Overview

Leaving the bustle of Cairo, you'll head to the Valley of Whales (Wadi Al‑Hitan), a UNESCO World Heritage site famed for its fossilised whale remains. Here you will encounter evidence of ancient life in the desert: fossil remains of the last known kind of Archaeoceti, an ancient sub‑order of whales. The site offers a rare glimpse into Egypt’s deep natural history and the changing landscape over millennia. After visiting Wadi Al‑Hitan, the tour continues to Wadi El Rayan Water Falls, the only waterfall in Egypt. You will see cascading water set against a stark desert backdrop and can take in the striking contrast between surging falls and surrounding dunes. Along the way, the excursion brings together natural wonders and elements of Egypt’s past for a different side of the country beyond the usual archaeological sites.
