What You’ll Experience

We will pick you up from your accommodation and head to Dahshur, where your experience begins at the farm. Upon arrival, you will take a guided walk through the surrounding fields, where you’ll enjoy the peaceful rural landscape. You will also take part in a traditional Egyptian bread-making experience, learning how it is prepared and baked using local methods. Afterwards, you will relax and enjoy a traditional lunch prepared by local hosts using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. In the afternoon, you can choose between a horseback ride or a donkey cart ride through the fields of Dahshur, or simply relax and enjoy the scenery. You will then continue with a demonstration of traditional honey production, where you’ll learn how local honey is made. To conclude the day, you’ll have time to take photos, enjoy live traditional folk music performed by a local band, and soak in the atmosphere. Finally, we will return you to the place where we picked you up.
