With a population of 315,940, El Faiyum is a bustling Middle Egyptian city, but don't let the numbers fool you - the bureaucracy is a persistent headache. The Nile-fed Faiyum Oasis offers lush greenery, but the region's hot desert climate means scorching summers that can reach 46°C. Still, the city's ancient history and vibrant markets draw visitors, and the nearby archaeological sites like Hawara and the Lahun Pyramids make it an intriguing option for the adventurous expat.
