The Fayoum, a large and exceptionally fertile depression in Egypt's Western Desert, some 90 kilometers southwest of Cairo, is a region both rich in history and outstanding in natural beauty. This book outlines the history (and prehistory) of the Fayoum and its lakes. It also describes the agriculture and rural life of the region.
