The Magic Lake is a lake located in Wadi El Hitan in Fayoum. It overlooks sand dunes and provides the opportunity to witness sunsets. The lake is named the Magic Lake because it changes its colors several times a day depending on the time of year and the amount of sunlight it receives in Fayoum, Egypt, on October 5, 2014.
