Lake Moeris, the ancient giant of the Faiyum Oasis, once spanned over 1,200 km² and powered Egypt’s irrigation system. Today known as Lake Qarun, it remains a historic symbol of engineering and agricultural innovation.
Wadi El Rayan is a breathtaking desert sanctuary in Fayoum, home to Egypt’s only waterfalls, expansive twin lakes, and globally rare wildlife like the slender-horned gazelle. Formed through a 1973 water diversion project, it now stands as one of Egypt’s most remarkable protected natural habitats.
