Originally, Fayed was mainly a fishing village; fish from the Bitter Lakes is particularly sought after in Egypt because of its quality and is correspondingly expensive. Agriculture on a larger scale has only returned since the historic Ismailia Canal was dredged and flooded in the course of the construction of the Suez Canal.
During World War II, several camps for German prisoners of war, members of the German Afrika Korps and units deployed in Italy and Greece, and interned German citizens were located in and around Fayed. The camps were each occupied by up to 15,000 people and known for their bad conditions.
