Egypt is an important connecting link between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, so it’s easy to forget it’s also home to many beautiful lakes. If you’re planning an extended trip around this country, make sure to check out these three lakes.
Siwa Salt Lakes
Siwa is one of Egypt’s most picturesque oases, but that’s not the only thing that makes it special. You can enjoy many hot springs and lakes during your visit, best known for a large amount of salt found in the water.
Lake Nasser
Lake Nasser is one of the largest man-made lakes in the world, and it’s located on the border between Egypt and Sudan. Fishing is one of the most popular activities at this lake, but you can also enjoy the view of the Abu Simbel Temple from one of the cruise ships.
Lake Burullus
Egypt’s second-largest lake isn’t an extremely popular tourist attraction, but nature lovers will enjoy it to the fullest. It’s best known for its salt swamps and sand plains, and a historical settlement Paralus, which lies underneath the water.
