Hiking safari trip St Abraam Monastery tour will start by picking you up by our representative and guide. It will be from your hotel in Fayoum. And then we will drive to Wadi El Rayan, a large depression in the desert west of the Fayoum. Moreover, water now flows into this originally dry basin, 43 meters below sea level, to form two large lakes. In fact, it supposed to be three lakes, but one of them dried up. Furthermore, the reason behind this project was that the Fayoum had a drainage problem. All drainage taken by one of the two main drainage channels, Masraf Al Wadi or Masraf El Bat.

The lake however, can take only a certain volume of drainage water to balance its rate of evaporation. It calculated at 370 million cubic meters per year. Moreover, any drainage water over that amount causes the lake level to rise. It will also flood the surrounding land, often doing irreparable damage. It is because of the waters high salt content.
