A long but worth seeing way from Cairo to Tunis, from there cool 4x4 tour to the waterfall at Wadi al-Rayoun and the mountain plateau. Great lunch in local restaurant. Tour went a total of just under 8 hours, it was very well responded to our wishes, the communication in English was sometimes a bit difficult.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site offering a unique experience of viewing whale fossils in the heart of the desert, it's considered a stunning "open-air museum." Wadi El Rayan and its waterfalls: The perfect destination for family relaxation, boat rides, and taking photos at the waterfalls. The Magic Lake and Jabal Al Mudawara: One of the most beautiful spots for watching the sunset and enjoying sandboarding.

Overall positive experience. We saw very beautiful landscapes and the desert ride in 4x4 was really fun. The driver was very good, he drove with great confidence and helped make the experience even more enjoyable. Unfortunately, due to a mix-up with the guide, we could not visit the Valley of the Whales, but I still award 5 stars because the owner of the agency proved extremely helpful and kind in seeking a solution and in taking care of our satisfaction.

An absolutely unforgettable Fayoum adventure! 🌟 This trip was the perfect mix of nature, history, and fun. Visiting Wadi El Hitan (Valley of the Whales) was a once-in-a-lifetime experience — walking among millions-year-old fossils in the middle of the desert was simply breathtaking. Sandboarding was a total highlight and added an exciting, adventurous vibe to the day 🏜️✨. The landscapes were stunning, peaceful, and unlike anywhere else in Egypt. Everything was very well organized, from transportation to timing, and the team made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. If you’re looking for a unique experience away from the crowded tourist spots, this Fayoum trip is a must-do. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Egypt — don’t miss it!

The experience itself is nice, but certainly not worth the price we paid (it's about 100 euros per person), the guide was kind but in a hurry, so we did not get to fully enjoy the experience, which lasted about 2/3 hours in the desert, the remaining 5/6 hours we spent on various trips.
