picture taken at
Qarun Lake -
El Fayoum.
Lake Qarun Nature Reserve is
distinguished by its matchless environmental
and natural assets. Within this
reserve that comprises 1155 sq. km of
land and 230 sq. km of water, both the old
and modern civilizations have converged.
Lake Qarun is a safe haven and warm cradle
for thousands of migrant
birds fleeing the severe cold of Europe.
It is also the incubator and the happy nest
that embraces infant birds on the lake
islets during reproduction time. Various
kinds of fish live in the lake waters, while
many species of mammals, reptiles and birds
live in this wonderful reserve. Moreover,
the reserve abounds in rare fossils,
archaeological and geological formations. |
