Camel Trekking Wadi El Rayan

Camel Trekking Wadi El Rayan tour booking, prices, reviews

Camel trekking Wadi El Rayan tour starts by picking you up from your hotel in Fayoum. And then, we will drive to Wadi El Rayan, a large depression in the desert west of the Fayoum. Water now flows into this dry basin, 43 meters below sea level, to form two large lakes. Originally, it supposed to be three lakes, but one of them dried up. In fact, the reason behind this project was that Fayoum had a drainage problem. All drainage taken by one of the two main drainage channels. They are Masraf Al Wadi or Masraf El Bats, or one of the other minor ones. In fact, they go down to Qarun’s Lake in the north. The lake however, can take only a certain volume of drainage water to balance its rate of evaporation.

Further details about the day tour:

In fact, it calculated at 370 million cubic meters per year. Any drainage water over that amount causes the lake level to rise and flood the surrounding land. Lunch will be during the tour at a local restaurant. Then you will mount the Camels and ride uphill towards the spring area of Wadi Al Rayan. In fact, the valley is the home of special fauna. Moreover, it includes the near-extinct slender-horned gazelles and small mammals. The camels will head north over dunes towards the shore of the second Wadi El Rayan Lake.
