Tour description
Tour itinerary
Departure from "CAIRO" by private car to "FAYOUM" Which is about 100KM South West of "CAIRO". Upon arrival we start this tour by visiting the ruins of a whole roman city called karanis ,the modern name is kum usheem which is Located at Fayoum (Fayium) and founded during the reign of Ptolemy II in the 3rd century BC, Karanis was built around a temple to the god Petesuchos, a crocodile god. As the town prospered and grew another temple was built to the north for the god Sobek. The south temple has three rooms that are linked by a wide vestibule. The main doorway bears an inscription of the original dedicatee, Nero, which was later altered to that of his uncle, Claudius. A large altar in the sanctuary contains a large hole to hide a priest acting as an oracle, which was common in many temples.. Steam rooms and pools of the Roman baths can still be seen in the north temple, which is now mostly ruin. Many everyday well-preserved objects and papyrus can be seen in the nearby museum. Then we drive to Qasr Qarun teple dating back to the potlmic priod 330 BC dedicated to Sobek-Re. after that we head to Ain as-Siliyiin which is one of the major springs in the area. The water is sweet, and contains traces of titanium which are said to prevent Teri sclerosis. There are some vendors, restaurants, accommodations and other amenities in the area, which is located in a lush valley. Other such springs around fayoum include al-Sha'ir, Biahmu and al-Mandarah.
