Overview

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.
