How Lake Look Like In Wadi El Rayan Egypt

Lake Qarun features a wide variety of fish, especially Bulti which is a better species than those caught from the Nile. Lake Qarun is a popular spot for fishing.

The other species which can be found here due to the increased salt content of the lake are eel, millet, sole and shrimp. The lake is said to be the largest saltwater lake in Egypt and is open from the middle of June until the middle of April.

The discovery of prehistoric fishing tackle some time back at Fayyoum oasis along the lake has given the area a status as a hunting and fishing paradise which has remained so since 7200 B.C.

There were many vacation palaces built during the pharaonic era to help kings indulge in elite hunting expeditions along Lake Qarun. One former hunting lodge of King Farouk has been converted on the lake.
