The protected area covers 1759 km2 in the southern part of El-Fayoum. The waterfalls are one of the best-known attractions in the Wadi El-Rayan Protected Area.

Then, we will ride Jeep 4 by 4 to visit Whale Valley. Wadi Al-Hitan, Whale Valley, in the Western Desert of Egypt, contains invaluable fossil remains of the earliest, and now extinct, suborder of whales, the Archaeoceti. These fossils represent one of the major stories of evolution: the emergence of the whale as an ocean-going mammal from a previous life as a land-based animal. This is the most important site in the world for the demonstration of this stage of evolution. It portrays vividly the form and life of these whales during their transition. The number, concentration, and quality of such fossils here are unique, as are their accessibility and setting in an attractive and protected landscape. The fossils of Al-Hitan show the youngest archaeocetes in the last stages of losing their hind limbs. Other fossil material at the site makes it possible to reconstruct the surrounding environmental and ecological conditions of the time. then drive back to your hotel.
