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.
