I am originally from Fayoum and would love to show the best and most beautiful about it. It has a big history since it was founded during the Pharaonic time and had a special importance in the Ptolemaic period. It used to be a famous spot for fishing as its huge lake "Qaron" was very rich with different kinds of fish. Fayoum has a combined nature between the green scenery and being an agricultural city , the biggest waterfalls which are rare to be seen in Egypt , the magnificent desert ,the colorful mountains and the unique valley of wales known as " Wadi El Hitan" with fossils from minimum 40 million years ago. People are very kind and friendly. We will try their traditional local food and you will love it. Rocket your trip and book it with us ( Travel Village your guide in Egypt).
