Egypt Royal Tours tour guide will meet you at the hotel lobby to move to Al Fayoum oasis , it is one hour and half driving which you will visit first The pyramid at Maydoum is thought to be just the second pyramid of four built by Snefru after Djoser's & may have been originally built for Huni, the last pharaoh of the Third Dynasty & continued by Snefru. Because of its unusual appearance, the pyramid is called El-Heram El-Kaddaab (false pyramid) in Egyptian Arabic. The pyramid was erected in three phases, numbered E1, E2 and E3 by the archaeologist Borchardt. E1 was a step pyramid similar to the Djoser Pyramid. E2 was an extension around the previous building of roughly 5 m width or 10 cubits, raising the number of steps from 5 to 7. The second extension E3 turned the original step pyramid design into a true pyramid by filling in the steps with limestone encasing. While this approach is consistent with the design of the other true pyramids, Meidum was affected by construction error.

Then visit the small village of Tunis is located in the oasis of Fayoum, on the way to Wadi Rayan. Located on a hill facing a large saltwater lake, the village overlooks a stunning view of the edge of the desert on the other side of the lake. It is one of the most beautiful places in Egypt. Until recently, the village of Tunis was an unknown farming and fishing community on the southern shore of Lake Qaroun. Though it looked like thousands of average Egyptian Villages, Tunis has its own charm very small, extremely beautiful and surprisingly peaceful. It was late 1960s when a Swiss female potter – called Evelyn Porret – visited Fayoum with her Egyptian friends. No sooner had she come across Tunis than she decided to build her own country house and pottery workshop there.

Then move to Lake Qarun Spot some of the stunning birds that thrive at the edge of this salty lake, from black-necked grebes to ibis and flamingos. after that move to visit Jabal El Madawara which it has panoramic view from its top to the lake and it is old about 45 millions years as it was a part of the ocean and over years became mountain by the erosion. Then move to get your lunch, then you will transfer back to your hotel.
