Your first stop will be Lake Qarun, one of the oldest natural lakes in Egypt. Take some time to enjoy the views and the quiet atmosphere before continuing to Wadi El Rayan as part of your Fayoum Oasis Safari 3 Days.
At Wadi El Rayan, you’ll visit the waterfalls and spend some time around the two lakes before heading deeper into the desert. Then the 4x4 safari begins, taking you across the golden dunes and rocky landscapes of the area.

Continue to Mudawara Mountain, where you can stop and enjoy the wide views over the desert and take some photos. It’s an ideal start to your Three Day Fayoum Desert experience and a memorable addition to your Egypt Tours.
After lunch in a desert setting, continue to Magic Lake. The lake is known for its changing colors, which can look different depending on the sunlight and weather. It’s a good place to slow down for a while and enjoy the scenery before continuing the trip.
At the end of the safari, head to your hotel in Fayoum, check in, and enjoy a relaxing evening.

After your breakfast, travel to Wadi El Hitan, called the Valley of the Whales. This UNESCO World Heritage area holds whale fossil finds and other traces from an older time, when the region was underwater. It is a top moment in the Fayoum Desert Safari 2 Nights plan.
Take your time in the fossil zone. Read the details there, and think about the whales that lived in this place long ago. Also notice how their remains ended up in the sand.
Once you finish, keep going across the nearby desert. Then make your way to Tunis Village. From there, you can look over Lake Qarun. The area is famous for pottery work and handmade goods. You will have some free time to wander, browse the pottery stalls, and enjoy how calm village life feels.
Have lunch at a local restaurant, then continue with the rest of the day’s activities.
Later, return to your 4x4. Drive through open areas around Fayoum again. Along the route, there will be stops for photos and for taking in the scenery. This part also stands out on the Fayoum Oasis Safari 3 Days.
When the evening arrives, find a nice place to see the desert sunset. After that, head back to your hotel.
