Explore the ancient wonders of Egypt with us on an exciting tour to Fayoum and Dahshur. We will pick you up from your hotel and drive you to Medinet El-Fayoum, the ancient capital of the Fayoum Oasis. It was originally known as Crocodilopolis and served as a temple to the crocodile god Sobek.
The wooden waterwheels that distribute water from the Bahr Yusef throughout the oasis are incredible engineering feats of the ancient Egyptians. Visit the Seven Waterwheels, which are surrounded by mangos, palms, and willows, and marvel at the large stone obelisk built in honor of Senwosret I in Abgig during the 12th Dynasty.
After lunch, we’ll travel to Dahshur, the Memphis Necropolis’ southernmost region. It is best known for depicting the transition from the “step” pyramid to the “true” pyramid that occurred during the third and fourth dynasties. Until 1996, the site was a military zone, so it was less developed than Giza and had a more peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
Our package includes admission fees, lunch, hotel pickup and drop-off, and an English-speaking guide. We also provide guides fluent in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and Russian if requested at the time of booking. Unspecified gratuities, food, and drinks are not included.
