private Over day to El Fayoum from Cairo by private van and private Guide

Faiyum is a city in Middle Egypt. Located 100 kilometers (62 miles) southwest of Cairo, in the Faiyum Oasis, it is the capital of the modern Faiyum Governorate. Originally called Shedet in Ancient Egypt, the Greeks called it Crocodilopolis or Krocodilopolis, the Romans Arsinoë. It is one of Egypt's oldest cities due to its strategic location.

Hawara is an archaeological site of Ancient Egypt, south of the site of Crocodilopolis at the entrance to the depression of the Fayoum oasis. The first excavations at the site were made by Karl Lepsius, in 1843. William Flinders Petrieexcavated at Hawara, in 1888, finding papyri of the 1st and 2nd centuries CE, and, north of the pyramid, a vast necropolis where he found 146 portraits on coffins dating to the Roman period, famous as being among the very few surviving examples of painted portraits from Classical Antiquity, the "Fayoum portraits" illustrated in Roman history textbooks.

Faiyum is the source of some famous death masks or mummy portraits painted during the Roman occupation of the area. The Egyptians continued their practice of burying their dead, despite the Roman preference for cremation. While under the control of the Roman Empire, Egyptian death masks were painted on wood in a pigmented wax technique called encaustic—the Faiyum mummy portraits represent this technique. Modern studies conclude that the Faiyum portraits represent Greek settlers in Egypt. Victor J. Katz notes that "research in papyri dating from the early centuries of the Common Era demonstrates that a significant amount of intermarriage took place between the Greek and Egyptian communities"
