o spaces, art library, living areas and a communal dining room which fosters the collaboration between its participants. The center is also home to the first Caricature Museum in the Middle East, which holds a vast collection of caricatures by artists such as Saroukhan, George El Bahgoury and Ahmed Toughan. The center is located by Lake Qarun in Fayoum, one hour drive away from Cairo. It is surrounded by beautiful desert nature and is close to the “Wadi el Rayan” Waterfalls and the “Wadi Hetan” (The Whale Valley).
