The drive from Cairo to Al Fayoum takes approximately 2-3 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions. It is a relatively short distance, making it a perfect day trip option for those staying in Cairo. However, we recommend spending at least one night in Al Fayoum to explore this beautiful destination fully.
The Fayoum Oasis, a sprawling depression in Egypt, is home to the magnificent Lake Qaroun (Birkat Qaroun), which lies at its lowest point. This unique area is nourished by water from the Nile River through the anciently canalized Bahr Youssef, branching out into a dense network of secondary canals. This setup not only makes the Fayoum Oasis a stunning natural wonder but also a crucial hub for irrigation and agriculture in the region. Discover the beauty and historical significance of Lake Qaroun and the Fayoum Oasis, a testament to ancient engineering and natural splendor.
