? When it comes to weekend getaways, the North Coast is perhaps the first <\/strong>destination that comes to mind. <\/strong>Ain Sokhna, Ras Sudr, El Gouna, and the like are next on the list. Yet, there\u2019s one destination that is just as breathtaking \u2014 and we\u2019d argue, offers a better getaway experience: Fayoum. One of Egypt\u2019s oldest cities, the oasis boasts a topography unlike any other \u2014 one worth driving a little under two hours for. <\/p>\n

We know what you\u2019re thinking, what\u2019s there to do in Fayoum? <\/strong>Well, as you\u2019ll soon find out, quite a lot. From majestic lakes to forgotten pyramids and archaeological sites, there\u2019s much to fill a weekend itinerary. Without further ado, here\u2019s everything you need to know if you plan on switching up your weekend plans. <\/p>\n

FIRST THINGS FIRST- <\/p>\n

If you want to sit back, enjoy the view, and have someone do all the planning for you<\/strong>, a slew of travel agencies in Cairo will be glad to help. Agencies like Sun Pyramids<\/a>, Tegwal<\/a>, D-Trips<\/a>, and more often announce weekend getaways and day trips to Fayoum, taking planning out of your equation. All you need to do is show up and let them take care of the rest. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going the solo route, however, it\u2019s a path easily trodden. <\/strong>If you\u2019re driving from Cairo, you can expect to be on the road anywhere between 90 minutes to two hours, and cover a distance of approximately 120 km \u2014 give or take. Before you put the pedal to the metal, here are some accommodation options to keep in mind.<\/p>\n

WHERE TO STAY IN FAYOUM- <\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re looking for a traditional hotel experience or a luxury camp to <\/strong>reconnect with nature, Fayoum has it all. <\/strong>Here are our recommendations for your next stay in Fayoum.<\/p>\n

TIP- <\/strong>Don\u2019t forget to pack some sunblock \u2014 you\u2019ll need it.<\/p>\n

#1- Waterside Loft: <\/strong>For a lush, serene rustic experience, this one bed-one bath Airbnb is among Fayoum\u2019s most coveted<\/a>. One look at it, and it\u2019s easy to discern why. The space is completely neutral with lots of wooden accents, offers floor to ceiling windows with a garden view, and comes with its own pool and an indoor sunken tub with a relaxing view. The Waterside Loft is ideal for solo travellers or couples with a penchant for the finer things in life, considering this stay comes at a hefty price. It\u2019s located near Qarun Lake and is close in proximity to the city\u2019s most popular restaurants and destinations. <\/p>\n

WHERE TO GO FOR SUSTENENCE-<\/p>\n

When in Fayoum, don\u2019t expect an abundance of foreign cuisines or upscale <\/strong>restaurants<\/strong>. Culinary escapades in Fayoum are all about traditional flavors and authentic Egyptian cuisine. While every hotel offers its own outlets, these are Fayoum\u2019s most popular restaurants. <\/p>\n

#1- Kom El Dikka: <\/strong>If you opt for a different accommodation than this agri-lodge, you\u2019ll still want to pay their signature restaurant a visit. Kom El Dikka serves up traditional Egyptian farm-to-table cuisine \u2014 breakfast through dinner. You\u2019ll find molokhia, stuffed pigeon, bechamel tajins, and more homemade favorites. Here\u2019s the best part: because Kom El Dikka knows you\u2019ll love the food so much, they deliver<\/a> frozen meals and other farm goodies all the way to Cairo.<\/p>\n

WHERE TO FIND IT- <\/strong>Kom El Dikka is located in Tunis Village<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

#2- Ibis: <\/strong>A restaurant and a cooking school, Ibis<\/a> offers the full culinary experience. The rustic restaurant bridges the gap between traditional offerings and gourmet cooking. You\u2019ll find everything from oriental classics to international favorites, served up with a side of Qaroun Lake views. <\/p>\n

WHERE TO FIND IT- <\/strong>Ibis is located in Tunis Village<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

SIGHTS YOU WON\u2019T WANT TO MISS OUT ON-<\/p>\n

T<\/strong>here\u2019s much to see in Fayoum that you won\u2019t find <\/strong>elsewhere<\/strong>. Here are some sights that should be on your itinerary \u2014 aside from Wadi El Rayyan and Qaroun Lake, which are hard to miss. <\/p>\n

#1- The Pyramids: <\/strong>Yes, you read that right. Fayoum boasts its own pyramids<\/a>: Lahun, Hawara, and Seila. While not as magnificent as the Great Pyramids of Giza, Fayoum\u2019s pyramids showcase the earlier efforts by our ancestors, and offer a glimpse into a history often forgotten. If you\u2019re visiting, we\u2019d recommend doing so through a travel agency, or your hotel\u2019s tour desk. <\/p>\n

\n

\n

#2- Wadi Al Hitan: <\/strong>A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Wadi Al Hitan<\/a> is a natural protectorate that contains the fossilized remains of the some of the world\u2019s oldest \u2014 and now extinct \u2014 subspecies of whales. The number of fossils, as well as their state, make Wadi Al Hitan a pivotal archaeological site. Wadi Al Hitan is only accessible to visitors through guided tours, so make sure to plan ahead. <\/p>\n

\n

\n

#3- The Magic Lake: <\/strong>Located within the Wadi Al Rayyan National Park, the Magic Lake owes its name to its seemingly shifting colors. The lake appears in different hues depending on the time of day, and shimmers under the sunlight. A trip to Fayoum isn\u2019t complete without a visit to the Magic Lake, where you\u2019ll find a slew of excited tourists sandboarding atop its shores. <\/p>\n

\n

FOR A LITTLE BIT OF FUN-<\/p>\n

#1- Pottery classes: <\/strong>Looking to try out something new? Try pottery classes with local experts. Ibis \u2014 aside from serving up delicious flavors \u2014 also offers pottery classes. The Fayoum Pottery School<\/a> in Tunis Village offers on-demand classes and other pottery-making activities for individuals or groups as well. <\/p>\n

\n

\n

#2- Egypt\u2019s only caricature museum: <\/strong>Did you know Egypt had its own caricature museum? Well, now you do know that it does, and that it\u2019s in Fayoum. The first of its kind in the region, Fayoum Art Center<\/a> is a cultural hub that hosts myriad exhibitions, art discussions, and a variety of creative activities for children and adults alike. It\u2019s located in Tunis Village, and if you happen to fall in love with the place, they also offer accommodation. <\/p>\n

\n

\n

#3- Shopping spree: <\/strong>Fayoum has no shortage of vendors proudly showcasing their craft \u2014 and a walk through Tunis Village will never have you heading back home empty handed. If you\u2019re looking for a more curated shopping experience, we\u2019d recommend paying Skylark Fayoum<\/a> a visit. The store offers all sorts of handcrafted memorabilia to cherish for years to come \u2014 think pottery, clay lamps, embroidered fabrics, and woodwork. <\/p>\n

\n

\n

#4- Desert experiences: <\/strong>You can\u2019t go to the desert without getting the full desert experience, it\u2019s as simple as that. From overnight camping to horseback riding and sandboarding, there\u2019s a lot to do in Fayoum. More often than not, hotel tour desks will be able to arrange all sorts of activities for you. You can also opt for a full-fledged desert guided tour with Safari Camping<\/a> in Tunis Village.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

#5- Into stargazing? <\/strong>The Perseid meteor shower, active between July and August, will be peaking around 12-13 August \u2014 and Fayoum offers one of the clearest night skies to view the natural phenomenon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
