Description

Start your day way before dawn with a quick ride out to the Giza desert for a magical sunrise camel ride right by the pyramids. You will watch the sun pop up over the horizon as the ancient monuments glow in the soft morning light. Snap some killer photos for your feed and sip on a quiet cup of hot Egyptian tea while the city wakes up in the distance.

Right after sunrise, you will take a 1.5-hour cruise out to Fayoum Oasis. Check out the massive Roman waterwheels and hit up Wadi El Rayan to see Egypt’s rare desert waterfalls. You can even jump on a traditional felucca boat ride across Lake Qarun. After stuffing your face with a delicious local lunch, you can opt to head deep into the desert to Wadi Hitan (Valley of the Whales) to see actual fossilized whale skeletons and prehistoric reefs. It is the ultimate mix of peaceful desert dawns, local culture, and wild nature before heading back to Cairo in the evening.
