Overview
This private Fayoum day tour gives Dimeya El Sebaa, the ancient city known as Soknopaiou Nesos, a dedicated archaeological visit. Explore the remote ruins and temple landscape with a private Egyptologist, private transport and an enquiry-first access plan from Cairo or Giza. Allow about 9 hours door to door.
The route is deliberately separate from Qasr El Sagha, Medinet Madi, Hawara and El Lahun, Karanis, Waterwheels and Ain Selin, Lake Qarun and Wadi El Hitan. It is for travellers who want one remote Greco-Roman Fayoum site understood without a rushed list of unrelated stops.
