Day Tour to El Fayoum from Cairo

Escape the hustle and bustle of Cairo for a private day tour to El Fayoum, one of Egypt's most enchanting natural and historical oases. Begin your journey with a comfortable hotel pickup and drive for almost 90 km to explore El Fayoum's famous sightseeing. Start your adventure at Karanis, one of the largest Greco-Roman ruins founded during the reign of Ptolemy II in the 3rd century BC. Continue your trip to visit the Pyramid of Hawara, founded by Amenemhat III (1860–1814 BC) of the 12th dynasty, an extraordinary site from the golden age of the Middle Kingdom. Marvel at the historic Al Fayoum water wheels, which remain the official symbol of the governorate and played a vital role in local agriculture. Unwind with a delicious late lunch at a local restaurant in El Fayoum, then conclude your tour at Lake Qarun, one of Egypt's most important ancient natural lakes, famous for its tranquil waters, bird watching, and stunning desert landscapes, before transferring back safely to your hotel in Cairo.
