Wadi El Rayan Waterfalls

Experience the stunning natural wonder of Wadi El Rayan through immersive virtual exploration of Egypt’s unique desert oasis. Begin at the waterfalls viewpoint where turquoise water cascades dramatically between two desert lakes, creating Egypt’s only waterfall in an extraordinary contrast of water and sand.

Navigate around the Upper Lake, a vast body of freshwater surrounded by rolling sand dunes. Watch 360° views showing how golden desert hills meet pristine blue waters creating surreal landscapes. Explore the waterfall area from multiple angles – from above where water spills over rocky ledges, at water level where spray creates rainbows in the sunlight, and from below where cascades create natural swimming pools.

Move to the Lower Lake where calmer waters reflect the surrounding desert and sky. Virtual birdwatching features help identify flamingos, herons, cormorants, and other waterfowl that inhabit this desert oasis. See wildlife tracks in the sand and learn about the endangered species that call this protected reserve home.

Journey to the Magic Lake (Bir Wahid), a small isolated lake nestled among massive sand dunes. Watch time-lapse sequences showing how the water changes from turquoise to emerald to deep blue throughout the day as sunlight shifts. See the stark beauty of this remote spot where pristine water meets towering golden dunes.

Explore Wadi El Hitan (Whale Valley) virtually, walking among 40-million-year-old whale fossils embedded in desert rock formations. Interactive features explain how this area was once covered by the ancient Tethys Sea and show 3D reconstructions of prehistoric whales that once swam here.

Experience desert camping areas where Bedouin-style tents nestle against sand dunes. Virtual sunset and night sky features showcase spectacular desert sunsets painting the landscape in golden and purple hues, followed by millions of stars visible in the unpolluted desert darkness. See sandboarding tracks down massive dunes and 4×4 safari trails winding through the sandy terrain.
