    This place is amazing. It has lots of history, Lake qaroun, and the ancient monastery in the desert were amazing. The city is crowded but Egypt in general is crowded so it is what it is. Fayoum is a an oasis province south of Cairo. An hour's drive away. Prepare for a simple picnic in wadi alrayan lake at the far end of fayoum where you can fish and enjoy the desert breeze away from Cairo's hustle and bustle. There is another lake (called lake qaroun named after a person who lived in the times of Moses) at the entrance of the Oasis with some simple tourist resort next to it, if you don't want to go too far.

    (Translated by Google) Ain El Sira Lake is a natural aquifer located south of Cairo in Fustat It is adjacent to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Fustat It is also adjacent to the most important monuments of the Fatimid state and is (the domes of the seven daughters) It is also adjacent to archaeological arches called the arches of Ahmad ibn Tulun or Saqaya ibn Tulun The name of the lake will be changed To become (the eye of life) A 1926 earthquake erupted with high salinity and high levels of water at different times of the year. The contracting company is currently expanding and deepening the flowing water basin of the eye to an area of ​​about 2 square kilometers and so far has not exploited this eye tourist It is planned that around the lake will be a hotel, a tourist walkway and tourist attractions Two bridges are underway next to the lake Another lake called the belly of the cow is being developed to become an integrated tourist area (Original) بحيرة عين الصيرة هي عين جوفية طبيعية تقع جنوب القاهرة بمنطقة الفسطاط وهى مجاورة لـ المتحف القومى للحضارة المصرية بالفسطاط ومجاور ايضا لاهم المعالم الاثرية للدولة الفاطمية و هو ( قباب السبع بنات) ومجاورة ايضا لقناطر اثرية اسمها قناطر احمد بن طولون او سقاية بن طولون وسيتم تغيير اسم البحيرة ليصبح ( بحيرة عـين الحيــاة ) تفجرت نتيجة حدوث زلزال عام 1926 ومياهها بها نسبة ملوحة عالية وترتفع وينخفض منسوبها في أوقات مختلفة في العام ويسبب ذلك إلى اغلاق الطرق المجاورة. تقوم حاليا شركة المقاولات بتوسيع وتعميق حوض المياة المتدفقة للعين ليبلغ مساحتة حوالى 2كم مربع وحتى الآن لم تستغل هذة العين سياحيا ومن المخطط ان يكون حول البحيرة فندق و ممشى سياحى و كفتريات سياحية وجارى عمل عدد٢ كوبرى جوار البحيرة وايضا جارى تطوير البحيرة الاخرى المسماه بطن البقرة لتصبح منطقة سياحية متكاملة

    (Translated by Google) Ain al-Sirah is a lake of highly salty sulfur water .. and the water of this eye may help in the healing of many diseases, but unfortunately it is not used by the neighborhood and it is now a dump site for rubbish and dead animals (Original) عين الصيرة بحيرة من المياه الكبريتة شديدة الملوحة.. ومياه هذه العين قد تساعد في شفاء كثير من الأمراض ولكن للأسف غير مستغلة من قبل الحي وهي الآن مكب للمخلافات وتجمع للقمامة والحيوانات النافقة

    Qarun Lake is one of the largest lakes in Egypt, but before you visit you must know why you want to go. If you want to go bird watching, make sure you go in the right season (around October to March) or you'll be out of luck. It's also useful to have a local bird watching guide because they'd know all the spots to see the birds. They're quite experienced so if you tell them what birds exactly you want to see they'll guide you to the right spots (don't miss the flamengoes) Sadly, the lake isn't clean or well-maintained though so there isn't much else to see or do there.

Enough tour quick to look and our Lord take some pictures (Original) منظر طبيعي رائع يمكن رؤيته من زاوية واحدة .. حيث هو محاط بابنية رديئة ومجموعة عشوائيات لا مكام للجلوس والاستمتاع .. يكفيك جولة سريعة للنظر وربنا التقاط بعض الصور

    This lake is one of the biggest in the region and is located in the middle of a desertic landscape. The entrance ticket is 5 USD but you can pay in egyptian pounds or euros. This place is ideal if you like hiking, horse riding or if you are in the right season to observe the birds. You can also do a safari if you wish. Personally I made a two hours walk and I appreciated the stunning landscape and the quietness of the place. There is not much infrastructure around the lake and it’s maintenance could be better (some place are full of garbage/plastics 🥲).

    I went to this salty lake with some Egyptian friends from Fayoum and swam here. There were some olive trees on the shore. I saw some boats on the sea, well I said that because it is salty. The area is very busy with various business and industrial activities. Qaroun was the richest person during the era of Pharoes. It is said that Qaroun was so proud of his wealth and Allah punished him by drowning everything he had and this is place that happened.
