After breakfast at the hotel, an extraordinary day will begin on board a 4x4 jeep towards the Fayum desert, the largest oasis in Egypt, located about 90 kilometers southwest of Cairo. Our journey will begin along the shores of Lake Qarun, one of the oldest basins on the planet, formed about 40 million years ago. Continuing through changing and fascinating panoramas, we will reach the Wadi El-Rayan Natural Park, a protected reserve that is home to the only waterfalls in Egypt, created artificially thanks to the flow of agricultural water, but today perfectly integrated into the environment. An enchanting place, where the silence of the desert is interrupted only by the roar of the water. Exploration continues in the legendary Valley of the Whales (Wadi Al-Hitan), recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage site. This paleontological site of extraordinary importance houses perfectly preserved fossils of ancient cetaceans, living testimonies of an era in which the region was submerged by the waters of a primordial ocean. 
After lunch in the heart of the desert, we will reach the Magic Lake, a hidden jewel among the golden dunes. Here we can admire the changing reflections of the water under the afternoon sun and, for those who wish, try sandboarding, sliding gently along the sandy slopes. In the late afternoon we will return to Cairo, taking with us the emotions of a day out of time. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.

After breakfast at the hotel, departure to discover the Coptic quarter, the spiritual heart of the city, also known as Old Cairo.

We will visit the Fortress of Babylon, the only Roman testimony in the city, built by the Emperor Trajan. Inside there are places of extraordinary historical and religious value, such as the Hanging Church, patriarchal seat in the Middle Ages, and the Church of St. Sergius, known for the cave where, according to tradition, the Holy Family found refuge during the flight to Egypt. 
Possibility of also visiting the Ben Ezra Synagogue, linked to important testimonies of the Jewish community of Cairo. 
After lunch in the city, we will board a felucca, the traditional Egyptian sailing boat, for a pleasant navigation on the Nile. Cradled by the movement of the water, we will admire Cairo from a different perspective, enjoying a moment of relaxation immersed in the beauty of the river. We will end the day with a walk in the modern center of Cairo, immersing ourselves in the lively local atmosphere to closely observe the daily rhythm of the city.
