Highlights
- Valley of the Whales (Wadi Al-Hitan) - In 2005, the Cetacean Valley was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is located in the protected area of Wadi el-Rayan. The area is famous for its shifting dunes and natural springs surrounded by desert vegetation. About 15 species of wild animals live here, including sand foxes, red foxes and antelopes. However, the most famous are the fossils of organisms that lived millions of years ago in the ancient Sea of Tethys. Fossilized shells and corals lie all over the area, and in appropriately marked areas you can admire the skeletons of prehistoric mammals (including Paleontology) and reptiles that once lived in this area and were discovered by palaeontologists. According to the findings of geologists, this place was once a bay where older animals came to finish their lives. Which is why so many skeletons are scattered around. Among them are 240 fossilized remains of Zeuglodon, or Basilosaurus, whose name means “king of reptiles”.
