Book your private tour to experience an amazing mixture of ancient and modern Egyptian culture and enjoy an unforgettable trip to El-Fayoum Oasis. The Faiyum Oasis is a depression or basin in the desert immediately west of the Nile, south of Cairo. It includes the famous Joseph’s Canal, thought to have been built by the biblical Joseph. The city’s main attractions include Greek-built waterwheels, canals, an obelisk at the city’s northern entrance, and many ancient Egyptian monuments.

Get a free pick-up service from your accommodation and start the day with a morning drive to El-Fayoum. Your visit includes Lake Qaroun Nature Reserve, the oldest nature reserve in the world, known for its unique environmental and natural qualities. Lake Qaroun provides sanctuary for thousands of migrating birds escaping Europe’s harsh winters and serves as a nesting area during breeding season. It is also home to many species of fish, mammals, reptiles, and birds.

El-Fayoum is also famous for its over 200 iconic waterwheels—one of the town’s most notable features—which deserve a quick photo stop. Then, drive to the Meidum Pyramid, which began as a step pyramid and was converted into a true pyramid. It was never completed due to a design fault, earning it the nickname ‘el-heram el-kaddaab’ (Pseudo Pyramid). After the visit, drive back to Cairo with unforgettable memories.
