Why take this tour?

On this tour, you will visit the Fayoum Oasis, one of ancient Egypt’s agricultural centers and regional capitals. It was here that the peasants were commanded by Pharaoh Amenemhat III to dig and flood canals that would create a great reservoir lake. You will be greeted by lush agricultural fields and learn about the rural life of the peasants, who still carry some of the tradition from ancient times, such as pottery and embroidery. In the afternoon, you will get to spend your time relaxing by the lake and feasting on traditional Egyptian food.
