Fayoum City & Oasis - City of Waterfalls Southwest of Cairo
Fayoum, Egypt - Located on the southwest of Cairo, this city is famously known for being the place that hosts the beautiful waterfalls and which are the main attraction for the tourists.
Are you looking for a place to visit in Egypt other than Cairo and Alexandria? Then Fayoum should be the third destination on the list. Cairo is the place where most of the history and its treasures are found then comes Alexandria ( and mixing between the rich history and the beautiful nature, Fayoum is the third city in Cairo that is home to one of the oasis found in Egypt.
Fayoum city in in the middle of Egypt, just 100 kilometers away southwest of Cairo, not far for a day trip. Due to it's strategic location, Fayoum is one of the oldest cities in Egypt. Driving one hour and a half to reach Fayoum will get you to witness several attractions and historical places along with seeing the natural waterfalls.
There are several tourist attractions that one could come to visit in Fayoum ,such as Wadi El-Hetan (valley of whales) which was a sea rich with a variety of marine life millions of years ago but which now contains fossils and skeletons of extinct whales.
Lake Qaroun is another destination spotted in Fayoum, this lake is considered one of the most important ancient natural lakes where there are different activities to be done, and there is also Qasr Qaroun (Qaroun palace) which one should visit there as well.
In addition to Qaroun lake, there is also the Magic lake which is our recommended destination for those who want to calm down after hiking and at the same time enjoy the beautiful scene of the stars at night.
Adding to these previous destinations, we should mention that Tunis Village is another beautiful place that should be visited. Tunis village is the place for those who are willing to have some time away from the hustle and bustle of the city by watching the birds by Qaroun lake and enjoying the singing of the birds. Tunis village has also been famously known for pottery making and even for teaching people how to make pottery.
The famous Wadi Al-Rayan waterfalls which are the main reason lots of people head to Fayoum in the first place are among the list of things to do in Fayoum. Those waterfalls are believed to be the largest in Egypt and the ones which you could take a dip in.
When one first think about visiting Fayoum, at first it might seem a waste of time because people think that it is all about the waterfalls and the Qaroun lake and they will be back or else will sit in the hotel doing nothing, but there are different places to visit and different activities to do, such as sand boarding, hiking, camping, fishing, watching the birds, enjoying the calmness of the place, and visiting those historical places found there.
History is beneficial and that is the reason why visiting Maidum pyramid in Fayoum is a must, this pyramid which is believed to be the first attempt of building one and which was built by the father of Khufu. Qasr El-Sagha temple is the one which was never completed and which dates back to the Middle Kingdom.
Lakes, waterfalls, villages, hotels, activities; there are actually different things to do and witness in Fayoum which will make you live two or three days that you are going to remember till the end of your time.
A recommended place for those visiting Egypt and have the time to go somewhere else other than Cairo. The nature there will help all those who want to be involved with different activities, watch this nature in front of their eyes, and at the same time get the chance to see some good historical things and places.
The weather in Fayoum is perfect during winter and spring, which is considered the recommended time for those who want to go bird watching or sand boarding because it is very hot in summer. For those want to visit the lakes and the waterfalls, all year long is considered acceptable.
The breathtaking view of those three different lakes which are found on different heights yet they are connected to one another through waterfalls is the most beautiful thing about the trip and even though the waterfalls will be always making sounds, and for some is considered noise, but it is still the noise of nature and that is pretty much needed.
Speaking of Egypt in general, there are a lot of places to go to, Cairo will always come on top of them but there is also Alexandria, which is considered the second biggest city after Cairo, there is also Luxor and Aswan, and one could visit places for enjoying the beauty of the sea and beach such as the North Coast on the Mediterranean ( or Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada on the Red Sea.
If you are in Cairo, you could check some places such as El Moez street in old Egypt ( or visiting Mohamed Ali Palace ( and you will always feel satisfied with the scenes.

Tunis: a jewel at the heart of Egypt’s Fayoum oasis
The oasis of Fayoum, two hours south of Cairo is in the middle of the desert and gets its water from the ancient salt water lake of Qarun, formerly known as Lake Moeris.
Within the fields of Fayoum, and overlooking Lake Qarun, lies the village of Tunis now a haven for artists and like-minded people. But it wasn’t always like that. RFI’s Anne-Marie Bissada has this report. Photos by Pedro Costa Gomes and Anne-Marie Bissada.
EGITTO - Oasi di EL FAYUM الفيوم HD
© CLAUDIO MORTINI -
Fayoum è la più grande oasi dell'Egitto e la più vicina al fiume Nilo e al Cairo. Il lago Qarun presente nella regione si formò circa 70.000 anni fa, quando il Nilo sommerse la depressione che oggi occupa l'attuale regione del Fayoum. Attualmente, i canali che lo collegano al fiume di fatto alimentano il lago.
Le oasi storicamente hanno rappresentato il giardino dell'Egitto e oggi producono una grande quantità di frutta e ortaggi. Il lago Qarun è noto altresì per la sua abbondante presenza di fauna. Un gran numero di uccelli migratori utilizza il lago come luogo in cui passare l'inverno, fermarsi per le stagioni successive o come stazione per ulteriori migrazioni verso sud. Storicamente infatti questa zona è nota anche come luogo di caccia per i faraoni e le elites nobiliari a seguire nelle varie epoche storiche.
I visitatori di solito non spendono molto tempo nella Medinat Al Fayoum (città di Fayoum) e tendono a frequentare maggiormente le aree umide e le terre agricole intorno al lago. Numerose strutture alberghiere animano la zona, tra questi l'Auberge du Lac, costruito originariamente come riserva di caccia per il re Farouk, l'ultimo monarca egiziano, ora è un vero e proprio hotel di lusso. Il lago Qarun è un ottimo sito per rilassarsi e comodo punto di partenza per un giro in barca.
Il Fayoum è anche la sede di importanti siti archeologici. Qasr Qarun è un tempio risalente all'epoca tolemaica situato sulla sponda occidentale del lago dedicato a Sobek, il dio coccodrillo, dato che la progenie di questa specie era solita prolificare nelle sorgenti dell'oasi. La maggior parte del patrimonio archeologico del Fayoum risale all'epoca del Medio Regno, durante il quale l'oasi era un centro di potere politico. Di conseguenza, il deserto circostante l'area del Fayoum è disseminato di piramidi. Le piramidi di Lahun, Lisht e Hawara purtroppo non godono di un buon stato di conservazione - più somiglianti ad un cumulo di detriti che a delle vere e proprie piramidi

EGYPT | FAYOUM AS SPOTS TO SEE METEOR SHOWER
If you are a fan of a budding astronomer, you should not miss Fayoum as spot to see Meteor shower’s peak. and you will enjoy the beauty of Fayoum desert nature .
Shooting stars, or meteors, are bits of interplanetary material falling through Earth's atmosphere and heated to incandescence by friction. These objects are called meteoroids as they are hurtling through space, becoming meteors for the few seconds they streak across the sky and create glowing trails.
Enjoy the beauty of Wadi el-Rayan lake and Wadi el-Hitan mountains along with a sky shimmering with the beautiful milky way and meteor showers at night.
Meteor Showers fayoum egypt
When's the Next Meteor Shower?
The first step is, of course, to find out if there is a meteor shower coming up in your city. Check out our Meteor Shower Calendar to find out.
Is There a Best Time to View Meteor Showers?
Yes. The visibility of meteor showers depends on a variety of factors, which include: peak time, position of the radiant—the point in the sky where the shower seems to originate, moonrise and sunset times, and the Moon phase.
Equipment to Watch a Meteor Shower:
All you need is time and patience and a secluded viewing spot, away from city lights. Once you have found a safe and dark viewing spot, follow these handy tips:
Fire up the Interactive Meteor Shower Sky Map on your mobile device to find out where to look in the sky for the radiant. Don't have a cellular signal? Don't despair. Just print out the table on the meteor shower page beforehand and bring it with you.
Plan your trip such that you give yourself about 15-30 minutes to set up and let your eyes adjust to the dark.
Dress for the weather.
Meteor watching, like stargazing, can be a waiting game, so bring anything that will make your wait comfortable—blankets, reclining chairs, pillows, and warm beverages.
