These palm trees and sultry sunset are definitely giving 'Miami Vice' vibes, but don't expect a white-jacketed Don Johnson to come running through the frame. A whole ocean and most of Africa lie between South Florida and this Egyptian oasis on the shores of Lake Qarun. Although a small hypersaline lake today, Qarun was historically part of Lake Moeris, a body of water twice the size of Biscayne Bay that dried to its current size during the Ptolemaic and Roman regimes. In modern Egypt, Qarun is a nature reserve meant to protect the many migratory birds that winter here.
