What Fayoum offers

Fayoum lies about two hours south-west of Cairo and is the closest oasis to the capital. Wadi El Rayan protected area has rare waterfalls and lakes between dunes, and Wadi Al-Hitan (Valley of the Whales) is a UNESCO natural World Heritage Site where fossils of ancient whales tens of millions of years old lie in the desert, with trails and open-air displays. The villages around Lake Qarun are known for pottery. Fayoum suits travellers who want desert scenery without a long journey.

Tips for Fayoum

• Protected areas need entry tickets; follow the rules on site.
• Desert tracks need a 4x4 or an experienced driver.
• Bring plenty of water, a hat and sunglasses.
• Do not touch or take anything from the fossil areas.

Notes for desert and oasis trips

Desert routes are long and facilities basic; they need 4x4s and experienced drivers. We explain lodging and camping conditions in advance: warm clothes in winter, no midday outings in summer.
