Enjoy the Adventure
A magical desert escape to Fayoum Oasis — ancient whale fossils, cascading waterfalls, starlit skies, and a memorable overnight camp in Wadi Hitan. At 7:00 AM, your private guide from The Neter Code will collect you from your Cairo hotel for the scenic one-hour drive (95 km) to Fayoum Oasis — once a sacred site dedicated to Sobek, the ancient Egyptian crocodile god. Enjoy a refreshing picnic lunch and explore the northern shores of Lake Qaroun, the world's oldest natural lake. Continue to discover the Petrified Forest, cascading waterfalls, and a historic monastery before heading to Wadi Hitan (Whales Valley) for an overnight camp. As dinner sizzles on the barbecue, unwind under an open-air pavilion beneath a dazzling canopy of stars. Sip authentic Egyptian tea by the fire before retiring to your comfortable tent.
