Wadi Rayan Located Wadi Rayan protectorate in the southwestern part of the province of Fayoum consists Wadi El Rayan from the lake Supreme , and the lake bottom , and the waterfalls that link between the lakes , and the eyes Rayyan south lake bottom , and Jebel Al Rayyan , a region surrounding the eye , and the Mount retained , which lies near the lake Lower . It features Wadi El Rayan its environment integrated desert , including sand dunes and natural springs and the lives of various plant and animal variety , as well as fossils of marine , as is the area waterfalls areas of marine sports different .. and no reserve, 15 species of wild animals most important ( Ghazal White - Ghazal Egypt - Fox funk - Fox sand - the wolf ) and there are also several types of hawks . Etymology Wadi Rayan is one of the most important natural reserves located in Egypt after the reserves Ras Mohammed and Saint Catherine , Mount tray has been named Wadi Rayan this name relative to the king claims Rayyan bin Waleed , who lived in the area with his army period irrigates water from natural springs in the region have agreed Bedouins on this label was found to have assets of ancient Egyptian also found in Papyrus world Julnchev and who confirmed this information world Giuah some researchers believe that the area was inhabited in the first and second centuries , and part of the land was planted and the name consists Wade Rayyan of two sections do not correspond to the real situation because low closed all those not considered Wadia and because the word means Rayyan saturated with water while the wilderness is to Amiah so it is believed that the label came , for the antibody , said Dr. Jamal Hamdan in his personal Egypt . The geographical location of Wadi Rayan Located Wadi Rayan in the Western Desert Southwest Fayoum about 40 kilometers from the city of Fayoum , 150 kilometers from Cairo and extends between longitudes 29 degrees and minutes and 29 degrees , accurate and latitudes 30 degrees and 30 minutes , and separated from the low Fayoum barrier of limestone up display to about 15 kilo meters and the total area of the lakes at the level of 1 meter or 2.5 Lake Qarun area also with a capacity of 2,000 cubic meters at the level of 18 meters which means that he can hold twice as much absorbed by Lake Qarun ( 1100 cubic meters ) . Thinking steps in the creation of low Wadi Rayan First thought to benefit from the waters of Wadi Rayan is Muhammad Ali Pasha, where the cost chief architect Linan de Blfon in order to find a way to store flood water in 1882 offering American engineer fled never know Top Hoyt Mania project interactively is the first of its kind to divert water from the Nile to the low -Rayyan for the protection of the Nile flood and high utilization of water stored in times of need and gave Colonel Western help him to Arnopk a detailed study of the project and the Wadi Rayan and so reported in 1880 and gave Sir William and Lux his first in 1890 and second in 1894 and third in 1895 AD and was thinking about moving to connect the River Nile to work cruiser huge valley Rayyan s uncle by digging a channel passing near the facility Haj southwest Ahnasia about 7 kilometers to the Wadi Rayan seemed to work in digging a large area of the canal in 1943 but the project was not completed for fear of leakage of water into low- Fayoum , believing the existence of faults and fractures under rocks and in 1950 presented an expert geologist Sir Cirque de Fox report on the geology of the region , however, to think of the High Dam was canceled thinking in the use of Wadi Rayan as a store of water, which encouraged Muhammad Ali Pasha, and a group of foreign scientists to study the idea of creating a low and use it as a store of water in times of need is level so that the valley where the valley is reduced from the surface of the Mediterranean Sea by - 46 meters , or about 1 meter from the level of Lake Qarun enabling the exchange of agricultural land in the South to Fayoum and Wadi Rayan . Project Wadi Rayan The presence of low -Rayyan this large area 400 kilometers very close to the low Fayoum pay to think about cashing in irrigation water in excess of the farm in the province of Fayoum to this low because the exchange of this water by the Lake Qarun was resulting in a rise in the level of underground water , which threatens agricultural land in the region as well as the inundation of large areas of the south shore of the lake, which is the first tourist areas to maintain and resolve the queen decided to implement a project to divert a large portion of this water to low -Rayyan Whipple took the province of Fayoum, 378 thousand acres distract them in Wadi Rayan an area of 120 thousand acres and this project, which was completed in March 1973 summed up in the D-channel of Fayoum to Rayyan moving from the north-east to south-west carrier Aleh water drained excess channel of sectors channel exposed length of 9.5 kilometers at the end of the western tip of Fayoum to the edge of the desert and then tunnel carved down the barrier limestone interval between low Fayoum and low -Rayyan and length of 8 km and a diameter of 3 meters and ends at the edge of the Al Rayyan North East and resulted in this annotated formation of lakes covers an area of the first 35 thousand acres and the second 25 thousand acres , including a waterfall be the result of the height difference between them and the result of the continuing exchange , the area of these water bodies or lakes water continues to grow and the result of this project turned Fayoum for the first time of the exchange of internal to external drainage and also resulted in transformation of Wadi Rayan of dry low below sea level to artificial lakes interior and under the surface below sea level which comes after the artificial lake that being human Egyptian high Dam at any Lake Nasser also resulted in substantial changes in the ecosystem by either animals or plants or birds or insects in addition to this that this region after having been part of the Western Sahara has become a place frequented by man , and this man was is even now fishermen . The benefits of the project are as follows Giving land Fayoum ration adequate irrigation water . The provision of exchange , whether in full or place deep in the exchange . Increase the cultivated land in an area of 5900 acres. Permits increased rice from 10,000 acres to 40,000 acres. Planting 10 acres fruits . Lutfi ensure Craca planting corn in a timely manner . Create artificial lakes area in the middle of the desert fish farming . Increase national income by at least 5 million pounds. The possibility of electric power generation capacity of 200 hp from the four waterfalls . The climate in Wadi Rayan The average temperature in the period from March to September 28 degrees From October to March 18 degrees and relative humidity of 50%. Has announced Wadi Rayan protectorate in 1989 to protect the resources of geological, biological, and unique cultural area and protected area covers an area of 1759 square kilometers in the southwestern part of the by day and contains a diversity of environments, each with a variety of wildlife and features of their own have been formed Seaertan Alsnaaatan in Wadi Rayan in 1973 when he was doused with a low desert surplus agricultural drainage water has grown jungle leaf woven around the beach to create areas of Fish and waterfowl are considered the cataract of the most attractive for visitors in the park is the only one who kind in Egypt is through protected preserve large tracts of desert, which is characterized by diversity environments and configurations as there is a rare and exciting life in the desert of Wadi Rayan, as well as the fossils of primitive creatures that lived here in the distant past deserve recognition and protection and for the viewer that is hard to forget the scene contrast between the blue waters of lakes and desert sands.
