Fayoum is a lake oasis about two hours south-west of Cairo. It has the waterfalls of Wadi El Rayan, the 40-million-year-old whale fossils of Wadi El Hitan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the potters of Tunis village above Lake Qarun. Each is a full day from Cairo.
Egypt's only waterfalls, a lake in the desert, and sandboarding on the way back.
Forty-million-year-old whale skeletons with legs, lying where they died.
A hillside village of potters above the lake, and lunch in someone's garden.
