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.

El Fayum is renowned for its fertile land, fascinating tourist attractions that date back to ancient Egyptian time and its great history. The name of El Fayum comes from the Coptic word 'Phiom' , which means lake or sea since it was enclosing a sea in the Prehistoric period. Ptolemy II (Philadelophos) gave El Fayoum the name 'Philadelphia'
North Coast, Egypt - An Amazing Place for a Break in Summer
One of the different summer attractions for the Egyptians is the North Coast, Egypt, which is considered another option other than the Red sea where they could enjoy their summer, not just that, but one that is not that far from Cairo the way Hurghada and Sharm El-Sheikh are.
North Coast, Egypt, is one of the longest Mediterranean coastlines in North Africa since it extends from the eastern side of Sinai Peninsula at the Egypt-Gaza border to the western village of Salloum at Egypt's border with Libya; it extends for about 1,050 kilometers (
Most of the Egyptian families own their apartments and villas in the North Coast where they escape to when their summer begins. There are of course some hotels which you could book at and there is also the option of renting an apartment or villa from those who tend to rent theirs in summer.
Water activities, enjoying the breeze, tanning in the sun, enjoying the nightlife; these are different things one could do when it comes to the trip one will make to the North Coast, Egypt. Even though these are considered several options, Egyptians tend to go there and meet their friends so they could enjoy their summer together.
Since the North Coast is so long, you might find yourself renting at the first village, in the middle, or else at the end. It is important to know such a thing and understand where you will be located because you need to be close to the places which you might choose to go to at night, if you are not planning to get out of the place then you could almost choose to rent or book a room anywhere, just make sure that the reviews about the place and its beach are both good.
The North Coast, Egypt, is not so far away from Alexandria ( - but again according to where exactly you are placed - so if you want to make your trip to Egypt an outstanding one, you could choose to go to Alexandria and see some of the historical things, and then come enjoy your peace of mind at the North Coast. The trip from the North Coast to Alexandria takes about one hour by car, it might be a little longer if you are staying at the very end, which will be closer to Marsa Matrouh.
Alexandria is the second biggest city in Egypt, coming directly after the capital Cairo, and in the ancient old times, it was considered the second strongest city coming after Rome. Alexandria is the place where the lighthouse was once located before being destroyed and it is where Qaitbay citadel is now found and which is one of the top sightseeing landmarks one should visit ( If you decided to visit Alexandria, you could also go and check the aquarium museum which is only 10 minutes walk away from the citadel ( check the library of Alexandria, as well as other sites like the Jewelry Museum.
The weather in Egypt in summer is always hot but heading to the North Coast is considered a little bit better, although it is still considered a hot place. In winter, this is never considered a destination to head to because the weather is always very cold and you will never get the chance to enjoy the see and will always feel cold at night while being seated in any open area.
We were so amazed with the life in the North Coast that we thought it is the new capital of Egypt during the days of summer; people are living there for months or those who have work, manage to head to the North Coast during the weekend.
At first, we where so thrilled with the photos we have seen on the internet about this place that we decided to head there and explore it on our own and that was when we felt in love with everything about it, starting from the high waves that we enjoyed playing with and ending with the nightlife of this place which we didn't imagine they have.
Egypt in general is the touristic country that one will always want to visit during his lifetime for the different historical museums and citadels that it has from several different eras. The Pharaonic Egyptian historical buildings and museums are considered the main attraction for the country, but there is also the Islamic, the Fatimid, the Ottoman, and others. Cairo is the city where tourists usually head for first, but there is also other thoughtful destinations to consider, such as Al Fayoum ( Alexandria, North Coast, Luxor and Aswan, or else head to the Red Sea where different cities are found.
We are sure that you will enjoy the North Coast in Egypt and you will come back home happy about your summer days spent in Egypt.
Connolly Cove is the place to get all the ideas and recommendations for the places you are willing to travel to and it tends to make the reviews better because it comes in videos! We mainly focus on Ireland and Northern Ireland, but we decided to expand to other locations in the world and here we are in the North Coast, Egypt.

EGYPT | FAYOUM AS SPOTS TO SEE METEOR SHOWER
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.

Siwa A Paradise in the western desert #thisisegypt
Siwa is Egypt’s hidden paradise.
About Siwa:
Siwa is known to have been settled since at least the 10th millennium BC, the earliest evidence of connection with ancient Egypt.
Its fame also lies primarily in its ancient role as the home to an oracle of Ammon, the ruins of which are a popular tourist attraction which gave the oasis its ancient name Ammonium.
