Located in El Fayoum, a wonderful area of Egypt which enjoys a rich and interesting history. It is an area where Egyptians often vacation and which is constantly growing more popular among Europeans.
The peacefulness of the area is a relief from the hustle and bustle of Cairo, from which it is a brief trip. Bird life still abounds around Lake Qaroun, bordered by semi-nomadic Bedouin settlements and fishing villages.
Here, on the edge of the desert, you can sail, windsurf, swim and fish. Other places of outstanding natural beauty near Fayoum are the hot springs at Ain al-Siliyin, where you can bathe and the waterfalls at Wadi al-Rayan, 40km towards Bahariyya, also suitable for swimming and picnics
