Escape the chaos of the city with our immersive 2 day Fayoum Oasis desert tour. Located just a short drive from the capital, Fayoum is Egypt’s oldest city and a hidden gem of natural wonders and artistic charm. On this 2 day Fayoum Oasis desert tour, you will journey from the lush greens of Tunis Village to the deep blue of the Magic Lake, ending your night in a secluded desert camp under the Milky Way. It is the ultimate eco-adventure for those seeking tranquility and thrill in equal measure.
Your 2 day Fayoum Oasis desert tour begins with a cultural visit to Tunis Village, famous for its vibrant pottery schools and artistic community. After a morning of art, we switch gears for a high-energy 4×4 desert safari. We will traverse the towering Qosor al Arab Dunes and hike to the summit of Mount Al Modawara for a panoramic view of the oasis. The day’s highlight is sandboarding at Magic Lake, where you can glide down massive dunes into a serene lake that changes color depending on the time of day.
As the sun sets over the dunes, your 2 day Fayoum Oasis desert tour transitions to a cozy Bedouin-style campsite. Enjoy a traditional dinner and the incredible silence of the desert. The following morning, after a fresh breakfast, we visit the iconic Wadi El Rayan Waterfalls, the only waterfalls in Egypt. You will have plenty of time to capture photos of this stunning natural phenomenon before we begin our comfortable journey back to Cairo.
