I hail from Fayoum, a place I’d delight in showcasing its charms and attractions. This city is steeped in history, with its roots dating back to the Pharaonic period and held a significant role in the times of Ptolemy. It was renowned for its bountiful fishing due to its enormous lake, Qaron, populated with a variety of fish species. Fayoum encompasses both lush green landscapes and the characteristics of an agricultural city, boasts the spectacular waterfalls seldom seen in Egypt, the awe-inspiring desert, the vivid mountains, and the remarkable Whale Valley also known as ‘ Wadi El Hitan,’ a site of fossils that are at least 40 million years old. The hospitality and warmth of its people are unforgettable. Go ahead, indulge in their local authentic cuisine - you’ll undoubtedly enjoy it. So why wait? Enrich your travel experience and let us (Travel Village - your companion in Egypt) guide you on this journey.
