Oasis du Fayoum

Le Fayoum (également appelé oasis du Fayoum) était une région de l'Égypte ancienne connue pour sa fertilité et l'abondance de sa flore et de sa faune. Situé à 100 kilomètres au sud de Memphis (Le Caire actuel), le Fayoum était autrefois un bassin désertique aride qui devint une oasis luxuriante lorsqu'un bras du Nil s'ensabla et détourna l'eau vers lui. Le bassin se remplit, attirant la faune et favorisant la croissance des plantes, ce qui attira les êtres humains dans la région vers 7200 avant notre ère.

Explore Ancient Egypt on a Day Tour to Fayoum: Discover Amenemhat III's Legacy

Fayoum, a hidden gem just outside of Cairo, offers a fascinating blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. A Day Tour to Fayoum from Cairo, focused on the legacy of Pharaoh Amenemhat III, provides a unique opportunity to explore ancient Egyptian sites and enjoy the tranquil surroundings of one of the country's most scenic regions. This tour is a must for history enthusiasts, adventure seekers, and those wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of Cairo.

Why Visit Fayoum?

Fayoum is one of Egypt’s most significant and oldest regions, with a history that spans thousands of years. The area is rich in archaeological sites and is home to numerous monuments from various dynasties, but it’s especially famous for its connection to Amenemhat III, the Pharaoh of the Middle Kingdom, who is considered one of Egypt’s most powerful rulers.

During your Amenemhat III Day Tour to Fayoum from Cairo, you'll have the chance to see some of the most important landmarks associated with this king and immerse yourself in the ancient wonders of the area.

Key Highlights of the Amenemhat III Day Tour

The Hawara Pyramid – As the burial site of Amenemhat III, the Hawara Pyramid is an iconic part of Fayoum's landscape. The pyramid, although in a ruined state, was once a grand structure and is known for its association with the "Labyrinth," a lost wonder of the ancient world. Visiting this site is like stepping back in time to witness the grandeur of ancient Egyptian architecture.

Lake Qarun – Known for its scenic beauty, Lake Qarun is one of Egypt’s oldest lakes, dating back to the time of Amenemhat III. This vast body of water provides a stunning backdrop for your tour and is a perfect spot to relax and take in the views of the surrounding desert and lush greenery.

The Fayoum Oasis – Fayoum is also home to the famous Fayoum Oasis, which has played an essential role in Egypt’s agricultural and cultural development. This fertile land, surrounded by desert, offers a beautiful contrast between the natural beauty of the oasis and the arid desert landscape. The oasis has been a vital source of sustenance for centuries, and it is a peaceful escape from the busy city life of Cairo.

The Crocodile Museum – Fayoum's ancient connection with crocodiles is fascinating. The Crocodile Museum in the region showcases relics and mummies of crocodiles, which were considered sacred animals during the reign of Amenemhat III. This museum provides insight into the role of crocodiles in ancient Egyptian mythology and religion.

The Temple of Sobek at Kom Ombo – Located near the Nile, this temple dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek is another fascinating site. While not directly tied to Amenemhat III, it offers a deeper understanding of the region's ancient religious practices and its importance in Egyptian history.

Marina Dunbar at The Guardian:

A jury found an Illinois landlord guilty of murder and hate-crime charges on Friday for a brutal 2023 attack on a Palestinian American family that killed a six-year-old. Joseph Czuba, 73, was charged in the fatal stabbing of Wadee Alfayoumi and the wounding of his mother, Hanan Shaheen, on 14 October 2023 in Plainfield, about 40 miles (64km) from Chicago. Authorities alleged that Czuba had targeted the family – who had been renting rooms in his house – because of their Islamic faith and as a response to the war between Israel and Hamas that erupted on 7 October 2023. Jurors deliberated less than 90 minutes over the crime that renewed fears of anti-Muslim discrimination in the Chicago area’s large and established Palestinian community.

Ben Crump, the national civil rights attorney representing Shaheen, called the verdict a “measure of justice” in a statement. “Wadee was an innocent six-year-old child whose life was stolen in an act of unimaginable violence fueled by hatred,” the statement says. “While we are relieved that his killer has been held accountable, we must continue to stand against the rising tide of hate that led to this senseless act.” It goes on to add: “We must honor Wadee’s memory by continuing to fight against hate in all its forms and working toward a future where every child is safe, valued, and free from violence.” The trial featured detailed testimony from police officers, medical workers, Czuba’s ex-wife and Shaheen, who described how Czuba attacked her with a knife before going after her son in a different room. Prosecutors say that the child had been stabbed 26 times. Graphic photos of the murder, a knife-holder Czuba allegedly used that day, along with police video footage were central to the Will county prosecutors’ case. At times, video screens showing explicit footage were turned away from the public viewing audience where members of Wadee’s family sat during the trial. [...] After the start of the war, Czuba told her that they had to move out because Muslims were not welcome. Later, he attacked her and her son. “He told me: ‘You, as a Muslim, must die,” said Shaheen, who testified in English and Arabic though a translator. Shaheen had more than a dozen stab wounds. Police testified that officers found Czuba outside the house sitting on the ground with blood on his body and hands. Separately, civil lawsuits have been filed over the boy’s death, including by his father, Oday Al-Fayoume, who is divorced from Shaheen and was not living with them at the house. The case, which generated headlines around the world, comes amid rising hostility against Muslims and Palestinians in the US since Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023, killing roughly 1,200 Israelis, and Israel’s attack on Gaza, which has killed more than 48,000 Palestinians. The US Department of Justice also launched a federal hate-crimes investigation.

Plainfield, Illinois landlord Joseph Czuba found guilty for murdering 6-year old Palestinian boy Wadea Al Fayoume in a fit of anti-Palestinian and anti-Islam fury at the beginning of the 2023 Israel/Hamas war.
