We spent the last part of my visit in Egypt in an area called El-Fayoum, an oasis-like area to the south of Cairo which has been inhabited since ancient times. Today, it is a beautiful area with lakes and acres of green fields, dotted with small villages. It is mainly a vacation spot for Egyptians and not often visited by foreign tourists. This lake with marshy borders was at the Wadi El-Rayan protected area, home to diverse wildlife and even a waterfall. It is surrounded by barren desert, offering a stark contrast to the clear water of the lake.
