Easter at Fayoum

Only one hour from Cairo by road, Fayoum is renowned for its year-round warm climate, and lush agricultural scene. The name Fayoum originates from the hieroglyphic word Bayoum, which meant "the sea", a reference to the large inland lake, Karoun (said to be the oldest lake in the world) on which sits Helnan Auberge Hotel.

The Auberge was built as a hunting lodge by King Farouk in 1937, and has seen many famous personalities cross its threshold, mostly for hunting parties. It also became a favored retreat for political figures.

Who's enjoying swinging the most?

This Spanish kid is hitting on my daughter! I'm gonna kick his pampers all the way from Fayoum to Barcelona!!!

Waterfalls, not Niagara I guess!
