Private tour Fayoum oasis, whale valley, 10% to stray animals

About this activity

Fayoum oasis and valley of the whales contain the best-preserved fossils, bones and skeletons of 40 million years old whales and beautiful stony old mangriove trees, as the whole area was a beach of an ancient pre-historic ocean, and they still excavate more. It combines pre-historic, ancient egyptian, Greek, Roman, ptolemaic and islamic history. The magic lake and Qaroon lake have both unique history and local stories whether real or part of local mythology.

It is so much interesting and fun for both adults and kids who enjoy sandboarding too. Usually, we make it as a day trip as it’s just two hours from Giza. However, upon request, we can also camp there at night for star gazing and watching foxes !
