Tucked away in the heart of beautiful Al Fayoum oasis is Byoum; a stand-out luxurious destination in the area. The oasis was previously referred to as Byoum, which means sea or lake in Coptic Egyptian, thus the inspiration behind its unique name. Ideally located, Byoum is 120 km away from bustling Cairo, making it the quintessential refuge. Al Fayoum Oasis is a depression in the desert immediately to the west of the Nile, south of Cairo.

Framing the compound of Byoum is a promenade, overlooking the pristine waters of Lake Qarun – one of the world’s oldest natural lakes – and a majestic natural protectorate on the opposite side. The saltwater lake is also a national protectorate; Flamingos, Hoopoe Larks and Great Grey Shrikes as well as other birds can be conveniently spotted. The development is built on 447,720 m2 of land encompassing a diverse range of real estate products, a 4-star hotel and a commercial area.

Byoum Lakeside Hotel is a 4 star superior hotel providing deluxe rooms and suites, all overlooking the lake and swimming pool. The hotel features a swimming pool overlooking the lake, a pool bar, and a children’s pool. The As Sakkia restaurant serves both international and regional cuisine in a warm, family friendly ambiance, with a terrace enjoying the view of the lake, while the pool bar serves some light bites and fresh drinks, with shisha also available. Byoum Lakeside Hotel is the perfect accommodation in Lake Qarun allowing one to explore the best sights around Al Fayoum and return to a pampered refuge away from it all.
