    Eine unvergessliche Camping-Tour in die Wüste von Fayoum und Wadi Al Hitan! Die Landschaft ist einzigartig und atemberaubend. Wir haben viel über die fossilen Wale gelernt, was unseren Entdeckergeist geweckt hat. Die Übernachtung im Zelt unter dem klaren Sternenhimmel war einfach magisch. Sehr zu empfehlen!

    Un'avventura straordinaria nel deserto di Fayoum e Wadi Al Hitan! Il sito è affascinante e abbiamo imparato così tanto sugli antichi cetacei. Dormire sotto le stelle è stato un sogno. Tutto era perfettamente organizzato e lo rifarei in un batter d'occhio!

    J'ai adoré ce voyage au Fayoum et au Wadi Al Hitan ! La tranquillité du désert combinée avec la découverte des fossiles est une expérience rare. La nuit passée à contempler la Voie lactée a été un moment d'émerveillement pur. Merci pour cette fabuleuse aventure.

    I had the time of my life on this camping tour! The desert is so peaceful, and Wadi Al Hitan is a must-see UNESCO site. Seeing the fossils up close was fascinating, and spending the night in the heart of the desert gave me memories I'll cherish forever.

    This camping trip to Fayoum and Wadi Al Hitan was absolutely incredible! The desert landscape was breathtaking and the night sky was filled with stars like I've never seen before. The UNESCO site of Wadi Al Hitan was both educational and awe-inspiring. Sleeping under the stars in the quiet desert was a truly unique experience. Highly recommend this adventure!

    This tour was beyond anything I expected. Exploring Fayoum and the UNESCO heritage site of Wadi Al Hitan felt like stepping back in time. The camping experience was peaceful and immersive, surrounded by the quiet beauty of the desert. I can't recommend it enough.

    Прекрасное путешествие на природу Fayoum и Wadi Al Hitan. Пейзажи пустыни захватывают дух, а научная ценность Вади-Эль-Хитан впечатляет. Ночевка в палатках под звездным небом - это незабываемо. Рекомендую всем любителям природы и приключений!
