Discover the stunning beauty, culture, and character of Wadi El Hitan through this amazing Wadi El Hitan Tour from Cairo. Discover fossils at the UNESCO World Heritage Site, get a rush from sandboarding and dune bashing, take a leisurely camel ride through the desert landscapes, and rest in the Bedouin tent with a delicious BBQ lunch.
Pickup at the preferred location in Cairo or Giza will mark the beginning of your desert adventure. Take an air-conditioned car to the stunning Wadi El Hitan Fayoum.
When you get to the desert, take a stroll about and take in the breathtaking views of the valley. Wadi El Hitan is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and you can see by the stunningly old whale fossils here why its name translates to “Valley of Whales.”
From your knowledgeable guide, learn about the crucial phases of development. Try to locate the typical wild creatures that are local to this region, such as the African wildcat and the Egyptian mongoose, as you traverse the magnificent Egyptian Sahara.
Then, spend around 1.5 hours driving up and down the dunes in a 4×4 vehicle to satisfy your need for excitement. Next, try some sandboarding for the ultimate rush. To do this, fasten the board to your feet and quickly slide down from the edge of the dune.
After that, have a leisurely camel ride and peacefully observe the desert vistas. Hold on to the camel while you take in the beautiful, untamed desert panorama that seems like it was painted by the skies.
After that, go to the Bedouin camp and have a tantalizing BBQ meal. Finish your safari and be dropped off at the place of your choice, Cairo or Giza, where you can have the most exciting and memorable experiences.

Guide and driver were on time, open to my requests and took care that I felt safe and saw the Pyramids and parts of old cairo during my less than 24 hour stay between flights. Office staff were great in communicating by email before and during the trip.
I had an excellent layover tour with Hani. He is knowledgable, fun, and passionate about his city. I went for a tour of the pyramids, sphinx, and to a papyrus factory which were all great. Ask him any question about Egyptian history and he will surely know the answer! Also
