Wadi El-Hitan, o Vale das Baleias, é um Património Mundial da UNESCO situado no Deserto Ocidental, a sudoeste do Cairo. As suas camadas de arenito contêm centenas de esqueletos fossilizados de baleias arcaicas, algumas com patas traseiras — prova da transição da terra para o mar.

Situado numa paisagem impressionante de dunas e formações rochosas, preserva também fósseis de tubarões, raias, tartarugas e mangais de uma época em que este deserto se encontrava sob um mar pouco profundo.

O que irá ver

  • Esqueletos de baleias fossilizadas preservados na rocha.
  • Os esqueletos da “baleia que caminha” com membros posteriores.
  • Paisagens desérticas e as próximas cascatas de Wadi El-Rayan.
  • O pequeno museu no local.

Dicas práticas

  • É um destino para 4×4 ou uma viagem de um dia a cerca de duas horas do Cairo.
  • Não há sombra e o sinal de rede móvel é fraco — vá preparado.
  • Combine com o oásis de Fayoum e Wadi El-Rayan.
