Siwa Oasis

Siwa Oasis

Siwa, is Egypt's most famous yet most remote oasis, it is located in the Western Desert, but much closer to the Libyan border. Every year, thousands of Egyptians and foreigners alike visit Siwa to learn about its unique history, heritage, and culture (they even have their language which is closer to Berber than Arabic).

Siwa's natural charms, from the vibrant greenery at the edge of the Great Sand Sea to their crystal-clear salt lakes and vast expanses of olive and palm trees, are worth visiting on their own.

Siwa is largely untouched by modernity and its technological trappings (Siwa was isolated from the rest of Egypt until the 1980s, when a road connecting it to Marsa Matrouh was built), making it an ideal place to camp and get away from it all.
