Your day begins with a private pickup from your Cairo or Giza hotel by your friendly Egyptologist driver-guide. Relax in an air-conditioned vehicle as you leave the city behind and journey southwest toward the oasis of Fayoum, one of Egypt’s oldest continuously inhabited regions.
Along the scenic drive, your guide shares fascinating stories about the Western Desert’s hidden lakes, rural Egyptian life, and the legends of ancient Fayoum — once known as the paradise of the pharaohs.
