Farafra Oasis History

The magic eye of Cypress A freshwater spring in the heart of the White Desert in Farafra

Ain al-Sarou underground - north of the Farafra Oasis in the White Desert - is a natural water spring that remains dry until any living creature, whether human, animal or even bird, approaches it, and the water begins to rise in the eye gradually until it is completely full, so you can drink, wash and take enough of it, and if you decide to leave, it begins to dry gradually until it disappears completely.

The strange thing about it is that any underground water source in the world pumps water day and night until it dries up completely and stops the water from coming out of it and dries up after a period of time, but in the Cypress Eye this is exactly the opposite, it does not release its water unless any living creature approaches it, even if it is a small sparrow, More information in Egypt Travel Guide, it releases water to it with complete satisfaction until it leaves and returns to dryness.

Ain El Cyro is one of the magical spots in the Farafra Oasis in the New Valley, as it is an underground single water spring in the white desert in the New Valley, north of the Farafra Oasis in Egypt, which is considered an international tourist attraction from which water springs as soon as you approach it, as the earth begins to fill the eye with fresh water and rises until it is completely full and you can visit these places via Egypt Travel Packages and the water floats on the ground so you drink and wash until if you leave it, its water recedes little by little until it dries up completely.

The scientific analysis of this wondrous phenomenon is that the land in this area consists of a special type of soft and sensitive soil like a sponge, and this serves as a storehouse for water in the ground, and when any living thing approaches it and presses on the ground near it, it bubbles with fresh water

This characteristic is only enjoyed by cypresses without any other place in the world.
