- Wadi El Natrun - Wadi El Rayan is a distinctive nature reserve in the Faiyum Governorate, Egypt, managed by the Ministry of Environmental Affairs (EEAA). Wadi El Rayan is referenced in Coptic sources as Pilihēy (Coptic: ⲡⲓⲗⲓϩⲏⲩ, meaning ‘possessing profit, useful’), a salt lake west of Kalamoun where Samuel the Confessor enjoyed resting. The valley of Wadi El-Rayan spans 1759 km², with 113 km² covered by the Wadi El Rayan lakes. It is situated approximately 65 km southwest of Faiyum city and 80 km west of the Nile River. The valley features man-made lakes formed from agricultural drainage, creating the two separate Wadi El Rayan Lakes. The reserve includes a 50.90 km² upper lake and a 62.00 km² lower lake, connected by waterfalls. There are three sulfur springs on the southern side of the lower lake, along with extensive mobile sand dunes. Wadi El Rayan Waterfalls are the largest in Egypt.
- Valley of the Whales (Wadi Al-Hitan) - Wādī al-Ḥītān (Arabic: وادي الحيتان, meaning ‘Wadi of the Whales’ Egyptian Arabic pronunciation: [ˈwa.diː elˈħit.æːn]) is a paleontological site in the Faiyum Governorate of Egypt, about 150 kilometers (93 miles) southwest of Cairo. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2005 for its numerous fossils of some of the earliest forms of whales, the archaeoceti (an extinct sub-order of whales). The site provides crucial evidence for understanding the evolution of whales from land-based animals to ocean-going mammals. No other location in the world offers the same number, concentration, and quality of such fossils, nor their accessibility in a beautiful and protected landscape. The valley was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2005.
