Step out from the hustle and bustle of Cairo and step into an adventure of stunning natural beauty with our Valley of Whales and Wadi El Rayan Water Falls tour. Experience a part of Egyptian history and nature that is often overlooked. Our day trip commences from Cairo and brings you face-to-face with the enigmatic desert whales in the Valley of Whales (Wadi Al-Hitan). It is a UNESCO World Heritage site that houses fossil remains of the last known kind of Archaeoceti, an ancient sub-order of whales.
Post this, we head to the Wadi El Rayan Water Falls- the only waterfall in Egypt. See the cascading water and take in the raw beauty of this spectacle. It is a sight of surging waters in the middle of a desert landscape that you don’t want to miss. Join us for this unique excursion that blends history, nature, and culture in a tapestry of unforgettable sights and experiences.

The visit to Valley of the Whales was the highlight and our main motivation for the trip. This amazing site is remote and we would have never made it on our own. Driving a 4x4 across the dunes and desert with Bedouin music blasting was thrilling! The driver was a pro! We did not spend much time at the Magic Lake or the waterfalls (which were crowded with locals due to the Eid holiday) due to the June afternoon heat. Lunch at the camp was simple but good. Transport and hotel pickup/dropoff was efficient.

We had an exciting ride in a 4x4 to travel to the valley of the whales. It is a unique experience to see fossils in both outdoor and indoor! The view of the desert is stunning! Both the magic lake and the water fall are beautiful. Our guide was nice and he helped us to take many great photos!

One of my absolute favorite days on my recent trips to Egypt. Our guide Osama was fantastic and we had such a fun day from dune crashing to sand surfing, Valley of the Whales, Magic Lake, the beautiful Waterfalls and everything in between. I would highly recommend this tour, it’s wonderful to get out of Cairo and see the countryside.

The whole trip was fantastic. My guide for the day, Moamen, and the driver Bilal Ghan were both great. The trip into the desert was unforgettable. The driver in the desert camp, Hamadan was also very good. Of all the things I experienced during my holiday in Egypt, this trip was the highlight

Had a fantastic day with Osama! Such a wonderful experience and I felt like we did so much. Riding the top of the dunes through the desert was such a fun and memorable experience. The Valley of the Whales was so educational and fascinating to see. The lake and waterfalls were gorgeous, and I enjoyed trying my hand at sand surfing. We all enjoyed the day and felt like we had such a unique day in the desert. Osama was an amazing guide and would highly recommend him!

I would recommend this tour to EVERYONE visiting Egypt. The experience of the desert and Wadi el Hitan was unique and powerful. Mahmoud went above and beyond to make sure I got the best possible experience. If you want to see and experience Egypt at its best, take this tour.

This was a lovely expedition. The pick up was on time, actually we were a bit late but Islam and Yahia kindly waited for us. We visited all sights and got everything in the package , guided tour, adventure, kindness and generosity. We had water all the time, the food was lovely. The drivers are very skilled and very safe, they made the journey very enjoyable. Islam is a very nice and kind person who is aware of what he does. He added a lot more to our journey that sight seeing. Thanks to Islam , Yahia and the two 4x4 drivers who I sadly forgot their names. Staff at the camp were excellent and provided us with cold and hot drink in addition to a very delicious lunch. I would definitely recommend EMO and I look forward Elton food more activities with them.

If you come to Egypt, this trip its a must! A very different experience, such a mellow day to rest of Cairo madness! Our trip was with Emo tours, excellent punctuality, but had ( so sorry I'm not sure how to spell his name) was a great guide, easy going, no pushing any purchases or side activities, always asking if we were ok, giving us time to read and see the museum of climate change, this was very educational before going to see the open air museum... the landscape is breathtaking! The waterfalls and the magic lake absolutely beautiful! Fun trip in 4 wheeler, sandboarding, and a delicious Bedouin meal, tasty and healthy all done with organic ingredients.

This was a very good experience out in the Egyptian desert. The natural sites are amazing and it feels very special to see and swim in an Oasis. The sand dune ride in the 4x4 was awesome, leading up to the valley of the whales and its unique natural history. Food was delicious and the camp was great. What would make this a 5-star experience would be if the guide provided more information about the area throughout the journey and more details on the desert itinerary so we could pack a second bag with everything we need in the 4x4.
