Fayoum Attractions

Fayoum, known for its beautiful scenery, is one of the most intriguing Egyptian oasis destinations that visitors can imagine. Fayoum is an important stop on any Egypt tour package because it is located in the country's northwest and is only a short drive from Cairo. From beautiful lakes and attractive waterfalls to archaeological features, wonderful tourist attractions are always available in the region. 

One of the things to do in Egypt is to take a tour of Lake Qarun, one of the world's premier natural freshwater lakes. This wonderful marvel is ideal for bird watching, sunbathing, or simply for a leisurely boat ride. Nearer to the plain lies the Wadi El Rayan, a perfect natural reserve surrounded by the desert with magnificent waterfalls. Fayoum also contains the magical Wadi El Hitan (Valley of the Whales), a world heritage site that contains hundreds of fossils of whales and other marine animals, which helps to explain the prehistory of Earth. 

If you wish to engage yourself even deeper into nature, then you should discover the Fayoum Desert with our Egypt Day Tours from Golavita Travel. Fayoum can be described as one of the most remarkable oases in the country, combining adventurous and cultural sightseeing with a beach/aqua-park option, making it suitable for any type of tourist.
