Wadi Hitan Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Valley of the Whales is a paleontological fossil field in Egypt's Fayoum Province, about 150 kilometers southwest of Cairo. Due to the fact that there are hundreds of fossils of early cetaceans, the suborder of ancient whales, it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2005. Fossils at the site show remnants of ancient whale hindlimbs, documenting the evolution of cetaceans from terrestrial to marine life.
