Wadi El Rayan is one of the most well-known natural sights in Egypt, and it takes about two hours and fifteen minutes to drive from Cairo. The city was named after King Rayan ibn al-Walid, whose soldiers were stationed there at the time. The natural reserve that shares its name with Fayoum is about 75 kilometers from the city center.
The province where the account is located is also called the same thing as the city. At its deepest point, 42 meters below the surface of the sea, Wadi El Rayan is 673 kilometers long. When an underground pipe network was put in place to connect this depression to Lake Qarun in 1966, it became a place to store water. Before that, people used the word “depression” to describe it.
The Wadi El Rayan Reserve is made up of seven different places. This area has three major physical features: Jabal Al Mudawara, also called Jabal Al Mudawara in Arabic; Jabal Al Rayyan, also called Jabal Al Mudawara in Arabic; and Wadi Al Hitan (or Wadi Al Hitan). Each of these places hides natural wonders that can take your breath away, like oasis-like valleys, towering mountains, strange rock formations, and waterfalls running down a hill.
Wadi El Rayan Protected Area:
There are two lakes and Egypt’s only waterfall in the Wadi El Rayan Protected Area. You can find these natural things in the Wadi El Rayan area. Because of the chance that archaeological, geological, or cultural items could be found there, the site was made a protected area in 1989. This makes sure that these things will still be around for people to enjoy in the future.
The protected area covers 1,759 square kilometers and is in the southwestern part of Fayoum. The waterfalls are essential parts of the Wadi El Rayan Reserve. Because this area is protected, large areas of desert land and a wide range of landscapes and rock formations have been kept in good shape.
In the desert of Wadi El Rayan, you might find some of the most beautiful and strange plants and animals on Earth. You might also find the bones of animals that have been extinct for a very long time and the sites of ancient civilizations.
One of the most beautiful things about Wadi El Rayan is how the lake’s golden dunes and turquoise water stand out against each other. Get out of the city and find a quiet place in the dunes where you can sit back, let your mind wander, and forget about your problems.
The dunes are an excellent place for all of these things to happen. Every year, about 188,000 people go to Wadi El Rayan, many of whom will remember their time there fondly for the rest of their lives.
