Start your adventure with Gate2Egypt early in the morning, as we pick you up from your hotel or a designated meeting point in Cairo. Travel in comfort aboard an air‑conditioned vehicle, accompanied by an expert Egyptologist guide who will share fascinating insights throughout the day.
Enjoy a scenic drive through the beautiful Fayoum Oasis, located about 100 km southwest of Cairo. Along the way, take in the charm of the Egyptian countryside while learning about the region’s rich history and culture.
Your first destination is the world‑renowned Wadi El Hitan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its extraordinary fossil remains of early whales. Walk through this open‑air museum of natural history, marvel at the well‑preserved fossils, and admire the breathtaking desert landscapes as your guide explains the site’s geological importance.
Pause for a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Fayoum, where you’ll savor authentic Egyptian cuisine and regional flavors.
After lunch, the excitement continues with a thrilling desert safari. Hop into a 4×4 vehicle and ride across the sweeping sand dunes of the Fayoum desert. Feel the adrenaline as you glide over golden sands, and if conditions allow, try your hand at sandboarding—an unforgettable experience sliding down the dunes.
As the day winds down, Gate2Egypt will take you back to Cairo. Sit back, relax, and reflect on the incredible memories you’ve made. Upon arrival, you’ll be dropped off at your hotel or a central location, marking the perfect end to your Wadi El Hitan & Fayoum Safari Day Tour.
