Day 2: Safari trip to Faiyum

Stop At: Qarun Lake, Faiyum Governorate 2814001, Egypt
Have you ever heard of the Egyptian god, Sobek? Well now is your chance to learn more. A tour guide will pick up from your hotel in Cairo by an air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle and take us on a journey through history as we make our way into Fayoum - where it was revered that The Crocodile God's cult center existed during ancient times!
This 95 km drive might be long but don't worry about getting tired; there are breaks for tea time (or coffee), snacks etc., so bring something good enough to break the boredom :)
Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Wadi El-Rayan, 65 km southwest of Faiyum city 80 km west of the Nile River, Al Fayyum Egypt
You'll find yourself in a beautifully manicured world, where the only thing that seems to be missing is you're Guides. A day trip on foot through Wadi al-Rayan will provide ample opportunities for relaxation with its lakes and stunning natural environment
The input speaks glowingly of this protected area while neglecting important details such as how far it actually goes or what else might lie beyond those borders
Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Valley of the Whales (Wadi Al-Hitan), Western Desert, Giza Egypt
Then, it's time to explore the Valley of Whales' "Wadi Hitan." Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2005 for its hundreds and thousands from some ancient whale species. See fossilized bones that date back 200 million years ago when this desert was covered by water! The most visible relics are those belonging either mammoths or giant sea cows- two other creatures who lived alongside these
Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Tunis, Tunis, Al Fayyum Governorate
Foreigners are familiar with Tunis Village, where the people are more than welcoming and generous, with many expatriates buying properties. It's an excellent opportunity to watch the young artisans at work and purchase examples of their work, tour the hamlet, and try your hand at pottery!
There are several Pottery Shops, and they point out some of the magnificent and uncommon plants, as well as a plethora of trees and shrubs, including the Bottle Brush Tree (which has drooping branches), Spikey Silk Cotton Tree, rose bushes, pomegranate bushes, Olive, Orange, and Lemon trees.
