About Farafra Oasis

Farafra Oasis is a small fertile spot in the midst of the Western Desert of Egypt. It is one of the four oases of the White Desert National Park and is located about 300 km southwest of Cairo. The area is known for its unique and stunning landscape with an abundance of hot springs, palm groves, fruit orchards, and mud-brick dwellings. Farafra Oasis is also home to some of the most beautiful and magnificent rock formations, including the famous crystal mountain and the white desert with its surreal chalk and limestone formations. It has a rich history and culture that dates back to ancient times and has been an important stopover for caravans traveling between Egypt and Sudan. Today, Farafra boasts a blend of modern and traditional culture, making it a popular destination for tourists seeking adventure, relaxation, or a glimpse of authentic Egyptian life.

What People Say About Us

HANDS DOWN, the best cultural experience I’ve ever had

Thank you Egypt Fun Tours for a most memorable trip. I admit I didn’t do any of the planning (it was all done by my boyfriend) but as you can read in the reviews below Hani (the owner of Egypt Fun Tours) is superbly organized and accommodating with scheduling.

My boyfriend and I, and our dearest mutual friend, booked the 7Days-6Nights tour. In short time, we visited Cairo, Aswan, and Luxor sailing down the down the Nile, pit stopping to see key sites at these location – and so much more!!! We got to know the ancient and modern egypt in depth thanks to Hani’s impressive knowledge. He also enlightened us on the people and their beliefs and went as far as showing us what a typical life looks like. I cannot express the level of personalized service Hani offered us. He was flexible to adapt to our requirements and added sites to our schedule that was not part of the tour simply to ensure we were 100% satisfied with our experience in Egypt.

I went to Egypt practically blind-folded, not knowing what to expect, especially considering the time we had decided to go (December 2020 – we were the first group that Hani met with after months of having to put his tour agency on hold considering the pandemic) yet he managed to surpass all of our expectations. I felt so incredibly lucky for us to have stumbled on Hani. I would recommend Egypt Fun Tours to anyone and everyone. It was truly, HANDS DOWN, the best cultural experience I’ve ever had. You’ll be in the best of hands.
