Wadi El-Rayan, Leave Any Stress and Walk Through the Calmness of Picturesque Nature!
You are flying over you in the sky through one of the most wonderful nature reserves. Around 140 species of birds meet on your way 24 types of mammals, such as fennec fox, jackal, foxes, and mongoose. Besides, you find the world’s largest number of “slender horn” deer. In addition to marine fossils dating back about 40 million years ago, in front of you are two large artificial lakes with 29 species of fish; these two lakes are connected by an amazing waterfall. Furthermore, this is why Wadi El-Rayan is where the picturesque nature will surround you to enjoy hearing the creek that will charm your eyes.
Surround you with natural springs, dunes, large water bodies, various botanical lives, and many flora and fauna. Let the sand of the El-Rayan Valley touch your feet to carry you to an integrated desert environment, where traces of human settlements from the Pharaonic, Greek, and Roman eras are still.
The banks of the lakes are a fertile place for plants to grow, which makes Wadi El-Rayan Fayoum an ideal place for bird migration in the winter season, especially with fish reproduction in the lake. 65 km from the city of Faiyum in the middle of the Faiyum desert, southwest of Egypt, about 140 Km from Cairo, you can hear all these birds’ songs when you look up and see them in the Valley of Rayan sky.
The Most Amazing Spots You Will Visit
Your soul will be relaxed by seeing this calm natural environment with pollution-free water that sways with the fresh air breeze. Going southwest of the lower lake, you can enjoy dunes, three natural sulfur springs, and various groups of desert plants and rare wildlife that make the region’s plants their home since you will be in the middle of the Oyuon El-Rayan.
There, you can find different types of migratory and resident birds, the most important of which are the peregrine falcon and the free-roaming falcon. Important marine fossils go up to El-Rayan Mountain, the area surrounding the southern and southwestern sides of the springs. However, Mashgaeega Wadi El-Rayan is one of the most important gathering places for migratory birds, and Wadi El Hitan is one of the most important areas for fossils. With climate change, many animals on the verge of extinction can reside here easily and safely.
Sail through the lakes of Wadi El-Rayan by riding a felucca and feeling full calmness. You can extend your feet from the felucca while the boat sails slowly to print in your soul the amazing scene you will see when the water touches your leg. The upper lake: Its area is about 46 square kilometers, and its maximum depth is 22 meters. The Lower Lake: Its area is about 107 square kilometers, and its maximum depth is 28 meters. Near it is the magic Al-Mudawara Mountain, with its beautiful layered appearance and certain symmetry that draws your gaze.
