FAIYUM (Al-Fayyum) is a city located 110 km southwest of Cairo, on the shores of the homonymous lake, in the oasis of Fayum. It is the capital of the province of the same name. Thanks to the Bahr Yosef, from the 12th Dynasty, the Faiyum was transformed into a rich agricultural region. The area of ​​Lake Birket Qarun is about 200 km². Unlike a typical oasis, whose fertility depends only on the water obtained from its springs, the cultivated land in the Faiyum consists of silt from the Nile contributed by the Bahr Yosef.

   To the southwest of the Faiyum, and the province, is the Gharak depression. Wadi Rayan is another totally barren depression of 725 km², located to the west of Gharak. The entire region is below sea level, and except for the canal entrance, it is surrounded by the Libyan hills. The lowest part of the province, the extreme northwest, is occupied by Lake Birket Qarun which is 43 meters lower than the level of the Mediterranean Sea.
