ワディ・エル・ヒタンに行く途中立ち寄ったお店で、焼きたてのエジプトパンとお惣を買ってカフェテリアへ行き絶品のトルココーヒーでブランチ。そこで警察が到着するのを待って世界遺産の砂漠地帯へ。4WDの威力を発揮しながら入り口から35kmほどで化石発掘現場へ。施設内の「気候変動と化石博物館」に入り、その後全部で18箇所の化石発掘地点へ徒歩で移動。行く価値十分のツアーでした。

Located in Fayoum - white desert Within two hours driving distance from Cairo, in the Fayoum area, you'll discover a yet more impressive meaning of 'Ancient' Egypt. The remote valley of Wadi El-Hitan (Valley of the Whales) is more of an open-air museum displaying rare gigantic fossils of ancient whales and sharks proving that some 40 to 50 million years ago, the area was submerged in the waters of what is known as the Tethys Sea. After lying trapped in the sands of the Western Desert, the fossil skeletons have been revealed by winds and erosion, and thanks to human intervention through a number of ongoing archaeological excavations sponsored by the National Geographic Society and by the University of Michigan. The landscapes surrounding the valley are just as impressive and amazing as the discoveries: gigantic sand rocks and mountains, dunes and hills. Try to visit the valley around sunset for a magical experience; the views and the colours are just amazing at that time of the day. The Valley of the Whales is part of the WRPA (Wadi El-Rayan Protected Area) and it has also been added in 2005 to the UNESCO's World Heritage List for its unique natural beauty and scientific significance. The Wadi Al-Rayan protectorate can only be reached by a private car or taxi, taking the Fayoum Desert Road from Cairo. A 4X4 vehicle would be a good choice, since the road becomes pretty bumpy after leaving Fayoum.

My fiance and I had a wonderful experience to Valley of Whales. Raafat, our driver for this trip, was by far the best driver we had in Egypt. Our tour guide Ali was exceptional! He is very professional, friendly and informative. It was a perfectly organized tour.
