Journey to El Fayoum
Join us as we venture only 47 miles (76 kilometers) south of Cairo to the oasis town of El Fayoum. Discover the wooden waterworks, a testament to the ancient Egyptian engineers' ingenuity. El Fayoum, once known as Crocodilopolis, then Arsinoe, and finally Medinet El-Fayoum, was the center of worship for the crocodile god, Sobek. Legends tell of crocodiles adorned in gold and fed honey cakes and meat by priests. Marvel at the great wooden waterwheels, an ancient Egyptian engineering feat less known than the Pyramids, used to distribute the waters of the Bahr Yusef throughout the oasis. With around 200 waterwheels scattered across the oasis, the Seven Waterwheels stand as a Fayoum hallmark, set amidst mango, palm, and willow trees.
Conclude your day with a serene experience at the beautiful Lake Morris. Relax in the picturesque landscape or opt for a felucca ride (at additional cost) to further explore the lake's charm.
