I’ve had the opportunity to visit Fayoum Governorate, more then one time, to collaborate with Fayoum Tourism Authority in the framework of an Italian cooperation project.
It was not only work but a fantastic experience lived together with a very passioned guide, Mahmoud that with its professionality, its competence, its deep knowledge of Fayoum Oasis and its friendship, supported me in delivering my tasks (I’ve developed two maps and a guidebook on Fayoum).
Fayoum is not only a place to visit (natural and cultural heritage are unique and fantastic!), it’s a place to live together with people, their culture and their traditions.
If you want to know the real Fayoum you need a special tour guide, a “Virgilio” leading you in discovering a magic piece of a wonderful country called Egypt.
