Fayoum - Wadi El Rayan
A two-day escape from Cairo to the Fayoum oasis: Lake Qarun, the waterfalls of Wadi El Rayan, desert dunes and the pottery village of Tunis, with one night in a simple lodge.
Fayoum is Cairo's green getaway, two hours away and a world apart: palm groves, lakes in the desert and quiet villages. A good weekend for families and for anyone who wants nature after the city.
Activities such as sandboarding depend on the weather and are arranged on the spot.
Morning drive to Fayoum. Visit the pottery village of Tunis and Lake Qarun, then check in to your lodge.
The waterfalls of Wadi El Rayan, the Magic Lake and the dunes, then drive back to Cairo.
