We had a day spare after visiting the various 'must-sees' in cairo. The Fayoum trip was a great way to experience a bit more (and a very different side) of the country. Hosni and his driver took us around in a very comfortable minibus, tailored the trip to our needs and interests. It was a bit of driving (4hrs at least) but with various stops and well worth it. The oasis was interesting - not how we imagined - so definitely learned something and you get a better idea of the desert. It's not a must do but would definitely recommend if you have time to spare. Also used Hosni as our guide to do the pyramids and GEM - was all very well organised and Hosni was very flexible to accommodate our requests.
