  Have you ever heard of the Egyptian god, Sobek? Well now is your chance to learn more. A tour guide will pick up from your hotel in Cairo by an air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle and take us on a journey through history as we make our way into Fayoum - where it was revered that The Crocodile God's cult center existed during ancient times! This 95 km drive might be long but don't worry about getting tired; there are breaks for tea time (or coffee), snacks etc., so bring something good enough to break the boredom :) You'll go to see The largest lake of Egypt's salt water lakes, which is also called the oldest natural lake in the world "Qarun's Lake". You can enjoy a magnificent view as migrating birds circle around it and various types of fruits grow in abundance on its shores - this would make for an ideal relaxing spot after visiting all your favorite spots!

It's an excellent opportunity to watch the young artisans at work and purchase examples of their work, tour the hamlet, and try your hand at pottery! There are several Pottery Shops, and they point out some of the magnificent and uncommon plants, as well as a plethora of trees and shrubs, including the Bottle Brush Tree (which has drooping branches), Spikey Silk Cotton Tree, rose bushes, pomegranate bushes, Olive, Orange, and Lemon trees.
