The Wadi El Rayan protectorate has a magical lake in the Fayoum governorate. It is a little natural lake flanked on two sides by a large mountain and on the other by vast sand dunes. It is known as the magical lake because it changes color multiple times during the day depending on the time of day and the amount of sunshine. Swimming and camping are both possible at the lake. It also provides an excellent opportunity to take amazing photographs while relaxing by the lake and taking in the landscape.

Things to do by the Magic Lake

Camping by the Magic Lake in Fayoum

The lake is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, who come to enjoy its peaceful ambiance and scenic views. Visitors can swim, fish, or simply relax on the shores of the lake, taking in the beauty of the surrounding landscape. It is also a popular camping site, where visitors can spend the night in tents and enjoy the tranquility of the lake under the starry sky.

The water of Magic Lake is salty but still supports a diverse ecosystem of plant and animal species. The lake is home to several species of fish, including tilapia, which are popular among local fishermen. The surrounding area is also rich in wildlife, with many species of birds, reptiles, and mammals inhabiting the nearby sand dunes and palm groves.

The creation of the Magic Lake has had a significant impact on the local environment. The lake and its surrounding wetlands provide important habitats for wildlife and migratory birds and play an important role in the ecosystem of the Fayoum Oasis. The lake is also used by local farmers for irrigation and has become an important source of water for agriculture in the region.

Overall, Magic Lake is a remarkable example of how human intervention can create a beautiful and thriving ecosystem. Its tranquil waters and stunning surroundings make it one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Fayoum Oasis, and its importance to the local environment cannot be overstated. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful getaway or an opportunity to explore the natural wonders of Egypt, Magic Lake is definitely worth a visit.

Hiking and sandboarding are two of the sports available around the lake. Minerals found in the lake are thought to aid in the treatment of rheumatism sufferers. Locals take a day off to explore El Fayoum’s natural beauty, including the magical lake, Wadi El Rayan waterfalls, Mudawara mountain, and Lake Qarun. Non-Egyptians who visit Wadi El Hitan will also find it to be a tourist destination. There is a lovely camp beside the lake where you can have a delicious lunch prepared by young locals who will also assist you with sandboarding and other sports.

What People Say About Us

HANDS DOWN, the best cultural experience I’ve ever had

Thank you Egypt Fun Tours for a most memorable trip. I admit I didn’t do any of the planning (it was all done by my boyfriend) but as you can read in the reviews below Hani (the owner of Egypt Fun Tours) is superbly organized and accommodating with scheduling.

My boyfriend and I, and our dearest mutual friend, booked the 7Days-6Nights tour. In short time, we visited Cairo, Aswan, and Luxor sailing down the down the Nile, pit stopping to see key sites at these location – and so much more!!! We got to know the ancient and modern egypt in depth thanks to Hani’s impressive knowledge. He also enlightened us on the people and their beliefs and went as far as showing us what a typical life looks like. I cannot express the level of personalized service Hani offered us. He was flexible to adapt to our requirements and added sites to our schedule that was not part of the tour simply to ensure we were 100% satisfied with our experience in Egypt.

I went to Egypt practically blind-folded, not knowing what to expect, especially considering the time we had decided to go (December 2020 – we were the first group that Hani met with after months of having to put his tour agency on hold considering the pandemic) yet he managed to surpass all of our expectations. I felt so incredibly lucky for us to have stumbled on Hani. I would recommend Egypt Fun Tours to anyone and everyone. It was truly, HANDS DOWN, the best cultural experience I’ve ever had. You’ll be in the best of hands.
