Pick up from your hotel at 7:00 am meet your guide and transfer to Fayoum. Fayoum is a peaceful fertile oasis located 95 Km south west Cairo. Fayoum cannot be considered a true oasis because it depends on the Nile instead of underground springs or wells. However, it is located in a depression that has its own wells, allowing the water to reach the surface from the underground reservoir. Fayoum is renowned for its year-round warm climate and two natural lakes that explains the high fertility of the land which makes it ideal for farming and harvesting. Birdlife abounds around Lake Qaroun bringing about hunters to the area. Fayoum has been traditional hunting ground since pharaonic times when Crocodilopolis, centre of the cult of Sobek, was the capita of the region.
Key Attractions: Lake Qaroun:

Qaroun means “Lake of the Horn” it is a favorite beach resort. In winter, it is quite rough and teeming with ducks and geese, which brings the hunters to lakeside hotels. and it is possible to negotiate a price to get a row boat to the Golden Horn Island or to the north shore.

 

Karanis Museum:

Many artifacts found within the Fayoum region are housed in the Karanis Museum. Displays include delicate glassware and pottery, females heads (as found in Alexandria) which are thought to have been used to model hairstyles, and a Fayoum portrait. Many of the mummies found in this area had portrait of the deceased painted on them. The museum is well laid out, and has recently been renovated.

 Waterfalls at Wadi al-Rayan:

40km towards Bahariyya oasis, Wadi al Rayan is a place of outstanding natural beauty where two lakes of different attitudes meet making water falls with beautiful natural sceneries also suitable for swimming and picnics.
