Wadi Hitan was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2005 for its hundreds of fossils of some of the earliest forms of whale, the archaeoceti (a now extinct sub-order of whales). Wadi Hitan reveals evidence for the explanation of one of the greatest mysteries of the evolution of whales: the emergence of the whale as an ocean-going mammal from a previous life as a land-based animal. No other place in the world yields the number, concentration and quality of such fossils, as is their accessibility and setting in an attractive and protected landscape. This is why Wadi Hitan was added by the UNESCO to the list of protected World Heritage sites. After Wadi hitan Tour, Lunch meal will be served in a local restaurant then return back to your hotel in Cairo. ( End of Fayoum Oasis Tour and Wadi Hitan Tour )
