A little more about your day
Leave Cairo's busy streets behind for Fayoum, about two hours' drive southwest of the capital, where green palm groves meet golden dunes and deep blue lakes.
Sail in a traditional felucca on the lake, see the waterfalls of Wadi El Rayan and stop by Lake Qarun to see country life along its shore. Visit Tunis Village, an eco-friendly village on a hill above Lake Qarun known for its hand-made pottery and art studios, and spend an hour sandboarding at Magic Lake, named for its colours that change through the day.
