Lake
Qarun
Water not moving is apparently a great
attraction in Egypt, and Lake Qarun is the largest
lake in the entire country, 45 meters below sea
level. It is gradually developing into a resort,
both with beaches, beach resorts and now also
holiday houses. Early in the day, green fishing
boats rest on the eerie calm lake, almost melting
with the sky. Bird watchers can have nice time
here, with 88 species nest around the lake,
including flamingoes. |
