Great desert experience

I love camping and I camp usually in front of a sea (Ras Muhammad usually). This was our first desert camping experience in Fayoum and we absolutely loved it. Guys were very accommodating, friendly, and professional at the same time. The itinerary is very entertaining yet relaxing, especially the part where we had to sleep in the desert campsite. Recommend for desert and camping lovers.

Perfect photography in Fayoum!

I recently found trails and tales while looking for someone to organize a tailored photography trip to fayoum. Ever since i contacted them and i was 100% sure they knew what they were talking about. Every detail mattered! They took their time to understand my needs perfectly and worked accordingly! They encouraged questions and gave me recommendations to all the spots that would be perfect to take pictures at. I asked for our own campsite in the middle of the dunes and they setup the perfect campsite and made the most gorgeous campfire and food! They guys running the company are very well traveled and we shared stories all night long it was amazing. Definitely recommended!

Look no further if you are in Cairo

I hardly ever write a review but about 20 years ago I used to be a professional tour leader in Sinai/ Marsa Alam , long story short I did it for years and was very good at it , now when I went back to Egypt said to myself let me try one of the newer companies which was this one that one of my old friends suggested , the level of service and professionalism of the guides and tour operator were astonishing , as a tourist in any country , your vacation time is limited and the only thing you keep with you after you leave and go back to reality is some memories and a few souvenirs, if you really wanna make the best use f your vacation time I suggest you give those guys a try .

Beatiful deret tip

I did a trip in the Fayoum desert with these guys. It was absolutely amazing. We visited Wadi Hitan National museum of petrified whales. We also spent a night under the beautiful derert stars in Badwin tents. It was an unforgettable and absolutely amazing experiance. The guys are fun and well organized.

Tales of Fayoum: Private 2 days and 1 Night Full Experience: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.

How much does Tales of Fayoum: Private 2 days and 1 Night Full Experience cost?

+

Prices start at $350 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Tales of Fayoum: Private 2 days and 1 Night Full Experience take?

+

Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cairo is not rushed.

Is Tales of Fayoum: Private 2 days and 1 Night Full Experience worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Tales of Fayoum: Private 2 days and 1 Night Full Experience?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Tales of Fayoum: Private 2 days and 1 Night Full Experience suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Tales of Fayoum: Private 2 days and 1 Night Full Experience?

+

Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cairo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Tales of Fayoum: Private 2 days and 1 Night Full Experience start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cairo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Cairo?

+

On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Cairo?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Cairo?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
