We will transport you from your Cairo hotel to experience the renowned sights of El Fayoum, a journey of roughly 95 km. Today, our tour takes us to the attractions of Wadi El Ryan, a Protective Area established in 1989. En route to the waterfalls of Wadi El Rayan, we will make a detour to admire Mudawara Mountain. Our next stop is the Wadi Al Ryan Waterfalls. Wadi El Rayan is a natural valley situated in the western desert and comprises two lakes that are joined by Egypt’s sole waterfalls, which was created in 1970 by the surplus drainage water from Fayoum farmlands. Lunch will be served later at a high-quality restaurant. After our visit, we will return to Cairo.
