Fayoum, the Miracle on the Sahara Desert

👍️Why Recommended: If you have time, it's just a two to three-hour drive from Cairo to Fayoum, where you can experience the unique charm of the Sahara Desert. Driving further in with an off-road vehicle, you'll discover well-preserved fossils from millions of years ago. It's hard to imagine that this place was once a vast ocean, where you can now see complete fossils of the ancestors of whales, dolphins, and corals. 📅Travel Tips: After arriving in Fayoum with a tour group, you'll switch to a 4WD Land Cruiser to enter the desert area. Experience the thrill of a desert safari, then visit the ancient fossil site where a small museum explains the history. The main attractions are the fossils of whale, dolphin, and coral ancestors, followed by an outdoor viewing of real fossils. 🏨Accommodation Tips: It's recommended to stay in downtown Cairo, as a day trip here is sufficient. 💗Other Tips: May to October is the extreme summer heat here and not recommended for visits. Be sure to take sun protection measures. Also, wearing bright-colored clothes is suggested for better photo opportunities.
