Lake Qaroun: As one of the oldest natural lakes in the world and a remnant of the ancient lake Morris, Lake Qaroun is approximately 1385 square kilometers in area and was created a natural reserve in 1989. It boasts of rich marine river and land fossils about 40 million years ago, including the impressive Fayoum animal with a body structure similar to a rhino that was found in that area.
Wadi El Rayan: Wadi El Rayan is the most important reserve in Egypt after Ras Muhammad, Saint Catherine, and Mount Elba. This recalls the name of a king, al Rayyan Ibn al Walid, who was based in the area together with his encampment, where they fetched water from the natural springs. This name traces back to ancient Egyptian times, and this is further complemented by evidence brought forth by the ancient writings in a papyrus.
