Wadi El Rayan is a natural depression located in the western desert, Wadi Rayan consists of two lakes connected by Egypt’s only waterfalls, formed in 1970 by an overflow of drainage water from the farmlands in Fayoum. then we will BBQ lunch in Tunisa village.

Qaroun Lake lies at the north of Fayoum Governorate. It is about 20 km north of Fayoum city, 80 south west of Cairo.
is one of Egypt’s richest and most treasured natural landmarks. Lake Qarun received its protectorate status, not only because of its obvious beauty and importance for birds and people, but also for its unparalleled historical, natural and scientific importance.

The Wadi El Rayan reserve consists of seven parts; the upper and lower Lakes , El Rayan springs, El Rayan Falls, El Modawara Mountain (or Jabal El Modawara in Arabic), El Rayan Mountain (Jabal El Rayan) and Wadi El Hitan (The Valley of the Whales). All these areas are full of amazing landscapes such as oases, mountains, rock formations and waterfalls.

The only location on Earth where the skeletons of families of extinct whales can be observed in their native geological and geographic setting—a shallow bay rich in nutrients from a sea that existed some 40 million years ago—is Wadi Al-Hitan in Egypt’s Western Desert. In addition to providing important insights into the palaeoecologic conditions of the Eocene vertebrate and invertebrate life, as well as the evolution of these ancestors of modern whales, fossils and sediments from various periods and levels reveal many millions of years of life. Amazingly, the hind limbs, feet, and toes of two species remained small.
