Wadi El Hitan, also known to scientists as the Zeuglodon Valley, was discovered in 1936 and is located 35 km west of Wadi El-Ryan, deep into the western desert. This area of fossils, considered an open museum, dates back 45 million years and contains petrified primitive whale skeletons, shark teeth, shells, and mangrove roots preserved in soft rocks. Everywhere you go here, you find petrified sea shells and corals.

Mar 2025 • Couples My husband and I had a great time. The agency has arranged a tailor-made itinerary for us, providing great accommodation, excellent guides in Italian, an efficient transport service and assistance in Italian for the duration of the trip. During our stay we requested some additions to the program (during the month of Ramadan and most archaeological sites and museums close very early, between 15 and 16) and we were always satisfied.
