Siwa Oasis | Most Wonderful Nature

This isolated oasis has natural springs and fertile land, providing access to spectacular stretches of Sahara desert. It’s a great spot for star gazing from your tent in the sand, but bring your bathing suit for a dip in its hot and cold natural pools. A 10-hour drive west of Cairo. Public buses take much longer. Desert safaris can be arranged in Siwa,More info:cnn

Isolated in the heart of Egypt’s Western Desert, away from urbanization, Siwa Oasis lies 50 km east of the Libyan borders. Within this little paradise – which remains out of sight except for those who intentionally seek it – a distinctive culture has been preserved, offering its visitors a rich experience unique to the oasis. Considered the easternmost extension to the Berber descendants (the original inhabitants of North Africa), tribes of the oasis have managed to retain their Siwi language, in addition to much of the Amazigh culture.

However, besides the cultural richness, Siwa also stands out for the magnificence of its nature and topography.

Commonly, it is advised to visit the oasis during the winter months. If you plan to head to Siwa anytime soon, here are a few suggestions for places to visit and activities to immerse yourself in.

Oasis has been Considered one the most mysterious of all Egypt’s oases, Siwa Oasis is also the most fascinating. It’s history has not only been shaped by all major civilizations, but also by the contrast of the surrounding desert with the lush soil of the oasis setting.

The Siwan people have their own culture and customs and, as well as speaking Arabic, we speak own Berber (Amazigh) language. Women still wear traditional costumes and silver jewelers and Siwa remains one of the best places to buy traditional local handicrafts.

#7   5 Common Misconceptions About Egypt’s Siwa Oasis,More info:medium

Far away from Egypt’s modern societies, an ancient community lies in the heart of the Western Desert, preserving not only its virgin, natural beauty, but a rich human experience as well. Like many exhilarating escapades, the oasis of Siwa is hard to fathom or fully grasp unless lived for what it is — a unique experience.

Driven by curiosity to find out more about the rich life and cultural heritage of one of Egypt’s most famous oases, I quit my job and set out on a six-week-journey to Siwa, an endeavor that was spiritually awakening to say the least. Whereas solid online research would usually prep any traveler for their ventures, the internet is herein draped in faulty interpretations of the Siwi history as well as its modern-day society, rendering it inevitable to learn about the oasis first-hand.

Lying on the opposite end of the Cairene lifestyle, my family and friends would often get in touch with concerns that seemed nothing short of alien to the actual experience I was living. Time and time again, as more friends visited, they would express how Siwa was farthest from what they had expected. Meanwhile, many more back home with little interest to endure the 12-hour bus ride to the oasis continue to live with various misconceptions on what life in an Egyptian oasis is like.
