The map
About this Al Fayyum map poster
Al Fayyum lies in a broad depression in the Western Desert, southwest of Cairo. The ancient Bahr Yussef canal carries water from the Nile into the basin. The city stands near the head of this fertile basin, and from above it appears as a dense cluster of streets surrounded by fields and a spreading web of irrigation channels that fan out toward the lowlands.
The Bahr Yussef runs straight through the city centre. Its banks are known for traditional water wheels, the wooden norias that have long lifted water into the channels. To the north the land slopes down to Lake Qarun, a large saline lake at the bottom of the depression. Beyond the fields, the edge of the desert is sharp and clear.
People have lived here since antiquity. The city grew on the site of Shedet, which the Greeks called Crocodilopolis, and the region gave its name to the painted Fayum mummy portraits of the Roman period. An Al Fayyum map poster shows this long-settled landscape in simple lines, with water at the centre of everything.

Irrigation channels
Beyond the built-up area, dozens of canals branch out across the fields in a fan-like pattern, a delicate network that becomes a feature in its own right at wider zoom.
Lake Qarun
At the northern edge of the depression, the lake forms a broad expanse of water between cultivated land and desert, visible when the frame is pulled wide.

Why Al Fayyum
A map that means something
For many Egyptians, Al Fayyum is where their family comes from. Visitors come for its lake, its desert valleys and its ancient sites. A poster of the canals and streets shows how water shaped the town, which gives it a calm and meaningful presence on a wall.
Set the title and subtitle in your own words, such as a family name or the date of a visit, and edit the coordinates line. Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand are available, as $9 HD files or printed posters on matte paper.
