Lake Qarun is found in the northern part of the Faiyum Oasis about 80 kilometers southwest of Cairo and it is considered one of the most stunning places in Fayoum. The lake is located in the heart of the Fayoum Oasis and it has been an important reason for life for thousands of years. 
The Qarun Lake story longs back to ancient Egypt where it played a key role in farming, fishing, and religious life… and today it continues to be a paradise for locals, tourists and even migratory birds.
