Valley of the Whales (Wadi Al-Hitan)
Upon arrival in the Fayoum region, the true desert adventure begins. You will be transferred to a sturdy 4x4 Jeep in the charming Tunis Village, your gateway to the untamed landscapes. Our experienced desert driver will navigate the sandy terrain, leading you towards the shimmering expanse of Lake Qarun, a vital source of life in this arid environment.
The highlight of your day is an exhilarating desert trip to the renowned Wadi El Hitan, or "Valley of the Whales." This extraordinary site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005, offers a remarkable window into the Earth's ancient past. Millions of years ago, this very land was submerged beneath a vast ocean. Today, it stands as an open-air museum, showcasing an astonishing collection of petrified skeletons of early, now-extinct whales, particularly the Basilosaurus (Zeuglodon).
