Journey back 35 million years at the Petrified Forest in Fayoum, a vast open-air museum in the Gabal Qatrani protectorate. This is not a forest but a desert landscape scattered with hundreds of massive, stone-like logs, some over 40 meters long. Once a lush, subtropical swamp, this site’s fossilized trees and priceless prehistoric mammal fossils offer a unique window into Egypt’s ancient past.

This mysterious “Goldsmiths’ Palace” is an ancient puzzle, built with massive, irregular stones fitted with perfect precision yet mysteriously left blank with no hieroglyphs. Explore its silent main hall, seven enigmatic shrines, and the nearby ancient quay that once served a prehistoric lake, all standing in remote, dramatic isolation.

But on the Winter Solstice (December 21st), visitors gather to watch a single, precise sunbeam pierce the gloom to illuminate the Holy of Holies. Discover this astronomical marvel, explore its maze-like interior of hidden chambers and spiral staircases, and see the nearby ruins of the Greco-Roman town of Dionysias.
