ABOUT THE AREA Often overshadowed by its close neighbor, Cairo, Faiyum is an unusual addition to most first-timers’ Egypt itinerary. And yet, there is much to discover in and around this oasis city in the heart of Middle Egypt. Situated west of the River Nile, Faiyum is the capital of the Faiyum Governorate and renowned as one of the longest-inhabited regions in the country – with archaeological evidence suggesting that people have lived there for many thousands of years. As such, Faiyum city and the desert that surrounds it offer visitors the chance to discover a plethora of fascinating historic sights, from prehistoric whale fossils to temples from the pharaonic, Ptolemaic, and Roman periods. Spectacular desert scenery studded with contrasting lakes and waterfalls add to the region’s appeal. As one might expect from an area with so much history, there are several pyramids within reach of Faiyum. The most important of these is the Pyramid of Meidum, located roughly 30 kilometers northeast of the modern city. Archaeologists believe it to be the first true pyramid attempted by ancient Egyptian builders, although it ultimately collapsed under its own weight so that only the core of the structure remains today. Other pyramids in the area include those commissioned by two of the most influential pharaohs of the 12th Dynasty. Respectively, these are Amenemhat III’s Pyramid of Hawara, and Sesostris II’s Pyramid of Al Lahun. Both are now in various stages of dilapidation but nevertheless provide a valuable insight into pyramid-building history. Lake Qarun is a popular weekend spot for Cairenes looking to cool down, and the lake edge is dotted with cafes and wedding pavilions. It’s not a big swimming spot, but even the sight of an expansive lake on the edge of the desert is refreshing, and you can rent a rowing boat. The lake is now an important bird area where thousands of migratory birds rest during their winter migration pattern south, including large numbers of flamingos. At the western end of Lake Qarun lies Qasr Qarun, the ruined remains of the ancient city of Dionysias. It was from here that camel caravans bearing valuable goods would once have departed for Bahariya, another oasis town in the Western Desert. Today, all that has survived centuries of sandstorms is a square-shaped temple built of yellow limestone, dedicated to Sobek and built during the Ptolemaic era. From the outside, the temple is not as impressive as its counterparts at more famous ancient sites such as Luxor or Aswan, lacking the adornment of inscriptions, murals or statues. Nevertheless, it’s well worth a visit for its maze-like interior (open to the public), and the desert views from the rooftop.
