Cairo is very noisy city so after 4 days I wanted something less stressy :) I hired a taxi again and I visited oasis Fayoum, the lake Qarun and Wadi Rayyan.

Only an hour out of Cairo and we drove through the desert until we saw waterfalls, green grass etc!!! The place was almost empty, a young boy was my guide for a while and I only met some fishermen.

It was a nice trip and I took some pics that I really love. You can see some of them here.

The taxi costed me about 15 euros and I hired the taxi from the hotel but you can find one on the streets if you like the driver and you negociate the price. I just find it safer with one from the hotel because I guess they are more reliable.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
