Afterward, you will head to Wadi Al Hitan, also known as the Whale Valley, which is located about 40 kilometers from Fayoum.

Later in the day, you will enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch before heading back to Cairo, arriving in the late afternoon. Overall, the full-day tour to Fayoum and Wadi Al Hitan from Cairo is an excellent way to explore the natural beauty and ancient history of Egypt.
