Today, it is more isolated, but during Ptolemaic times it was at the shore of the much larger lake, situated at the edge of Moeris Bay and the beginning of the caravan routes into the Western Desert, The ruins of Dimeh al-Siba contain the two temples, houses, underground chambers, streets and ten-meter high walls that are sometimes up to five meters thick.

    This 2-day desert camping trip in Fayoum was absolutely unforgettable! Wadi Al Hitan is a marvel - I never knew whale fossils could be found in a desert. The site is well-preserved and truly deserves its UNESCO heritage status. The overnight camping experience was magical under the stars. Highly recommend this tour if you're visiting Cairo!

    Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis! Der Besuch des Wadi Al Hitan war unglaublich faszinierend. Die Fossilien sind beeindruckend und die Geschichte dahinter fesselnd. Das Camping unter dem Wüstenhimmel war einfach traumhaft. Absolut empfehlenswert!

    Le voyage était magnifique! Dormir dans le désert était une expérience unique et Wadi Al Hitan est tout simplement impressionnant. J'aurais aimé passer plus de temps à explorer. C'est un must pour tous ceux qui visitent le Caire.

    Der Campingausflug in die Wüste Fayoum war sehr gut organisiert. Wadi Al Hitan ist ein einzigartiges Erlebnis. Die Übernachtung im Wüstencamp war eine tolle Erfahrung, auch wenn es etwas kühl wurde. Ein lohnenswerter Abstecher abseits von Kairo!

    Una meravigliosa esperienza! Il tour al Wadi Al Hitan è stato informativo e affascinante. Ammiro come il sito è stato preservato. Dormire sotto le stelle nel deserto è stato qualcosa che non dimenticherò mai. Consiglio vivamente questo tour!

    Потрясающая поездка! Два дня в пустыне Фаюм были волшебными. Вади-эль-Хитан - это место, где можно прикоснуться к древней истории. Ночь в лагере под звездами - незабываемое впечатление. Рекомендую всем, кто планирует путешествие в Каир.

    This was an extraordinary excursion into the heart of Egypt's desert. The highlight was undoubtedly the Wadi Al Hitan, where you truly feel the pulse of history. Our night in the desert was both serene and exciting. Don't miss this adventure!
