Frequently Asked Questions

Wadi El Hitan is a UNESCO World Heritage Site holding hundreds of fossilised whale skeletons — remnants of ancient whales that lived 40 million years ago when the Sahara Desert was a vast ocean. It is one of the world's most extraordinary palaeontological sites and is often called the Valley of the Whales.

The 2-day trip includes exclusive transfers from Sahel Hasheesh, 1 night accommodation in Fayoum Oasis with breakfast, a guided tour of Wadi El Hitan (Valley of the Whales), visits to Fayoum's natural lakes and wetlands, and a guided nature walk through the desert landscape.

Fayoum Oasis is a birdwatcher's paradise with migratory and resident birds encompassing herons, flamingos, kingfishers, and egrets around its lakes. The Wadi El Hitan area also contains desert foxes, gazelles, and a remarkable variety of desert birds.

October to April provides the most pleasant temperatures for exploring the desert and the oasis. Spring and autumn deliver agreeable weather and excellent birdwatching. Summer is possible but very hot; early morning and evening are the most comfortable periods.
