Faiyum

Overview

Faiyum, also spelled Fayoum, is a unique region in Egypt, often referred to as an “oasis” although its fertility stems directly from a branch of the Nile River (the Bahr Yussef) rather than underground springs. Located about 100 kilometers southwest of Cairo, Faiyum boasts a rich history, diverse landscapes, and significant archaeological sites, making it a captivating destination.
