Begin your adventure at Wadi El Rayan, a protected desert oasis famous for its two natural lakes surrounded by sweeping sand dunes.
You’ll visit Egypt’s only waterfalls, where freshwater cascades from the upper lake to the lower one – a rare sight in the middle of the desert.

Expect beautiful views, wildlife spotting (especially migratory birds and desert gazelles), and plenty of opportunities for spectacular photography.

Next, you’ll head deep into the desert to discover one of the most fascinating fossil sites in the world, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Wadi El Hitan contains well-preserved skeletons of prehistoric whales that lived over 40 million years ago, when the area was once a vast ocean.
You’ll explore:

• Whale fossils embedded in the desert floor
• The Fossils and Climate Change Museum, showcasing rare marine fossils
• Stories of evolution and extinction shared by your guide in an open-air desert setting.

A short climb up Gebel Al Modawara offers stunning panoramic views over Wadi El Rayan Lake and the surrounding desert.

It’s the perfect spot to:

• Enjoy a quiet moment in nature
• Watch the sunset over the sand dunes (if your tour lasts into late afternoon)
• Take dramatic, wide-angle photos from one of the highest natural points in the area

Take a break with a freshly prepared Bedouin lunch, served in a cozy, shaded setting near the lake or amidst the sand dunes.

Expect authentic local dishes like:

• Charcoal-grilled chicken
• Bedouin-style rice
• Freshly baked traditional bread
• Handmade salads and dips

The meal is cooked and served by local Bedouin families, offering a warm and genuine cultural experience.
