Day 2 Fayum - Wadi hitan - Djara
Full Board |
Departure by Jeep for the visit of Wadi Hitan (Valley of the Wales), picnic lunch en-route to the Djara Cave: one of the very few well decorated caves in Egypt. A cave of magical dimensions, the Djara cave is the natural result of pure water in contact with the dry desert climate, over millions of years of formation. |
Valley of the wales |
The cave is unlike any other in the region, and presents its viewers with a fairy-tale like atmosphere of staggering depth and proportions. To the common visitor and resident of Egypt, the Djara cave is almost unheard of. However, a true vacation or tour to Egypt ought to involve true discoveries, and this by far, is one discovery that will never be forgotten. The cave contains a ceiling of what appears to be fluted limestone formations that mimic the effect of frozen dripping water, almost like asymmetrical folds of drapery in stone and crystal. The Djara cave is a result of immense amounts of water that have accumulated over an extended period of time, seeping through the desert sands creating an underground cave of aesthetic splendor and geological heaven. It was rediscovered by the German explorer Gerhard Rohlfs during his famous expedition. B.B.Q. dinner and overnight camping in the area. |
