PROGRAM FLOW
After breakfast, we leave Cairo and head towards the Fayoum Oasis, located approximately 125 km away. Surrounded by fertile lands brought to life by the Nile River, Fayoum is one of Egypt's most special regions with its ancient history, natural beauty, and desert landscapes. Upon our arrival:
We visit the Kasr Harun (Qasr Qarun) Temple. This impressive structure, dating back to the Ptolemaic period and reaching us to the present day, is one of the region's important heritage sites due to its location in the middle of the desert and its historical atmosphere. The entrance fee to Kasr Harun Temple is included.
Continuing our tour, we go to our hotel located on the shores of Lake Fayoum: Tunis Village. When Evelyne Porret saw Tunis Village on the shores of Lake Karun in Fayoum at the end of the 1960s, it was a small and poor settlement with no electricity or water, surviving through agriculture and fishing. Inspired by the village's nature, she settled there; built her house and first established her own ceramic workshop, and in 1988 founded a ceramic school providing free education to the village children.
She took the works of the children she taught to exhibitions and festivals held in Egypt and countries like France, Switzerland, and Sweden. Many of these children eventually became independent artists who opened their own workshops. Thus, the adventure that started with a single workshop has now reached approximately 30 ceramic and pottery workshops operating throughout the village. It is also stated that there are approximately 13 hotels, boutique accommodation facilities, and ecological lodges in the village along with workshops for various handicrafts. While there is no reliable official number showing the current total of restaurants and cafes, many local restaurants, cafes, art galleries, boutique accommodation facilities, and tourism businesses operate in the village.
In short, Tunis Village has transformed from a small settlement relying on agriculture and fishing with even lacking infrastructure into an international cultural and tourism center known for its ceramic art, unique architecture, boutique hotels, restaurants, art festivals, and desert experiences. This transformation is a very impressive example of how an artist can change not only a craft but the entire economy and future of a village. Guests who wish may join our extra tour.
In the evening hours, together with guests joining our extra tour, we receive information about ceramic production, one of the region's important handicrafts, sit at the wheelheads, and live almost a meditative experience with ceramic making.
