Cairo

Know before you go

Al-Fayoum (Faiyum)

Al-Fayoum is a great choice for anyone looking to escape the Cairo hubbub for a day.
Attractions are scattered around the area: Faiyum city (sometimes written Fayum or Medinet Al-Fayoum) doesn’t have a great deal to offer travelers.
The Valley of the Whales site is extremely exposed. Wear closed-toe shoes to protect feet from hot sand in summer and a hat and sunscreen whatever the time of year.
Generally speaking, Al-Fayoum’s attractions aren’t adapted for travelers who rely on wheelchairs. Families will find slings or back carriers easier than strollers.
