Gabal El-Medawara

Gabal El-Medawara

The Round Hills in Fayoum (Gabal Al Medawara).  A hill in Fayoum on the lake that is used for sand boarding.  A perfect place to relax and contemplate life and discover authentic desert adventure in an area that is a reserve of wadi el hitan or Whale Valley.

Another scenic hiking option overlooking the Magic Lake; and a great place to camp and to marvel at the stars.

SANDBOARDING  

Feel like spending a day out of the ordinary! Roll on the Dunes! Take loads of fun pictures of yourself in the desert!  Ride a 4 wheeler!  B.B.Q. lunch!  Lit a fire!  Dig a hole!   Burn marshmallow!

Just run around and go crazy!  The trip is aimed to show our travelers how to enjoy the desert while leaving it intact.  We don’t have to build resorts or change the desert’s nature in order to enjoy or make better use of our resources.  We could always get out of the city; have a blast and get back home taking nothing but photos and great memories and leaving nothing but footsteps.
