Upon arrival, we’ll start the day with a delicious breakfast at Tunis Village, then set off in 4x4 cars toward Wadi El Hitan to explore its fascinating fossils. Afterward, we’ll visit the Magic Lake, where you can witness the water’s colors change throughout the day, a truly unique sight. For those seeking a thrill, try sandboarding as you glide down the dunes before we pause for snacks. As the day winds down, we’ll enjoy the sunset by the lake, a peaceful moment to reflect on the vast desert landscape.
