Qasr Qaroun

Qasr Qarun is one of the major tourist attractions in El Fayum City that marks the site of the ancient Greek city of Dionysias. It locates the western edge of Qarun Lake in El Fayoum Governorate about 40km from the capital El Fayum. The site had enjoyed great importance during the Greco-Roman Period as here was the beginning of the caravan route to The Western Desert Oasis. The palace is surrounded by some remains of a Roman bath, two temples, a number of fresco-decorated houses, and a fortress.
