Faiyum

Faiyum is a fertile region in Egypt, south of Cairo, known for its rich soil and abundant water from the Nile River. It features a large natural lake called Lake Moeris, which has historically supported agriculture, especially cultivating crops like wheat, barley, and vegetables. The area is also home to ancient archaeological sites, including the Faiyum Oasis, which dates back thousands of years. Today, Faiyum continues to be an important agricultural hub, combining its natural resources and historical significance to sustain local communities and contribute to Egypt’s economy.
