Family Tour to Baharyia Oasis and Fayoum

Breakfast will be served in the desert at 6:00 a.m, followed by a drive to Bahariya Oasis.

At 09:00 You will stop at Crystal Mountain, sometimes referred to as Gebel al-Izzaz locally, on the way back. The quartzite crystals that compose the hill, which can be seen on the right, are what give it the nickname "the Jewel of the Desert" and give it its stunning appearance when illuminated by the sun. That natural feature was discovered by chance a few decades ago.

Drive to Bahariya Oasis at 11:00 Relax by soaking in the warmth at Bir Sigam, a hot spring. The spring is the best hot spring in terms of temperature, and is situated on the Cairo Road 7 km east of Bahariya.

Then return to by car to the Bahariya hotel overnight.

On the journey to Lake Qarun in a private, air-conditioned vehicle, our guide will pick you up from your hotel in Bahariya while you witness the city transform into orchards and beautiful fields. Discover during Egypt trips some of the magnificent species, including flamingos, ibis, and black-necked grebes, that live along the border of this saline lake.

Visit the neighborhood museum to witness breathtaking examples of Fayoum's mummy portraits, and cloth panel paintings that clearly bear a Greco-Roman influence. With the help of your guide, explore the museum and learn about the history and culture of the area. Don't forget to check out the impressive collection of statues from nearby archaeological sites.

Before going to Wadi El-Rayan to see the man-made waterfalls in the middle of the desert, stop at a nearby restaurant for an Egyptian-style lunch.

Then embark on a picturesque voyage in a felucca, a wooden sailing vessel with a sophisticated gaff-rigged sail.

Finally, Return transportation to your Cairo hotel.
