Today’s itinerary includes visits to Wadi El Ryan, which was designated a Protected Area in 1989. We will begin our tour at Wadi Hitan Protected Area (Valley of the Whales), located about 90 km from Fayoum. Wadi Hitan, or Valley of the Whales, is situated within the Protected Area of Wadi El Rayan and was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the discovery of 40-million-year-old whale skeletons.

Wadi El Rayan is a natural depression in the western desert, situated 42 meters below sea level. It comprises two lakes connected by Egypt’s only waterfalls, which were formed in 1970 by the overflow of drainage water from Fayoum’s farmlands.
