The well-known sights of El Fayoum are more than 90 kilometers away from where your tour guide will pick you up from your Cairo lodging. Start your day trip from Cairo to El Fayoum to see Karanis, one of the biggest Greco-Roman ruins, which was built in the third century BC under the direction of Ptolemy II.
Visit the Pyramid of Hawara, one of El Fayoum's most breathtaking structures, which was built by King Amenemhat III, a pharaoh of the 12th dynasty (1814–1860 BC), whose reign is regarded as the Middle Kingdom's golden age (2055–1650 BC).
Keep observing the water wheels at Al Fayoum; they were crucial to the community's economy because they were used for agriculture. The water wheels serve as the official emblem of the governorate of El Fayoum today.
Visit Lake Qarun, one of the most renowned historic natural lakes, and the waterfalls of Wadi Al Rayan, where water sports, fishing, and bird watching are popular pastimes. After that, return to your Cairo accommodation by transfer.
