Egypt's secret paradise! The salt lake in Siwa Oasis.

There are many salt lakes of various colors in the city of Siwa near Libya. The salt lakes in the Siwa Oasis have a very high salt concentration, just like the Dead Sea, so you can float easily. The salt concentration of the lakes is much higher than normal seawater, so your body will float naturally, so even if you can't swim, you don't have to worry. In addition, the salt is rich in minerals and is said to be good for the skin, so you can enjoy a spa-like feeling. It felt really good to float on the salt lakes and look at the blue sky! Notes: •Security information: Since Siwa is close to the Libyan border, please check the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' overseas safety information before visiting to keep up with the latest security situation.  •Precautions when visiting the salt lakes: Effects on wounds and mucous membranes: Because the salt concentration is very high, you may feel pain if you have a wound. In addition, it is also very irritating to mucous membranes, so avoid long periods of time in the water.  Splashes on the face: If water gets into your eyes, it will cause severe irritation, so be careful not to splash water on your face. Avoiding independent activities: In case of an emergency, we recommend that you accompany a guide or driver.  •Clothing and belongings: Swimsuit and cold weather gear: Since there are no changing rooms, it is convenient to wear a swimsuit and layer your clothes. Also, please bring cold weather gear as your body will get cold after entering the water.  Handling of metal products: It is recommended that you remove metal products such as accessories and watches beforehand to prevent corrosion due to salt.  Footwear: The area around the salt lake is unstable due to salt crystals, so it is easier to walk if you wear footwear such as beach sandals.  •Notes when traveling by bus: In-car environment: The bus facilities may be old and the seats may be broken.  Toilet breaks: There are several toilet breaks along the way, but there are only a few simple shops.  Cold weather measures: The air conditioning inside the car may be strong, so bring a jacket to stay comfortable.  Siwa Oasis is a place that makes you feel like you're on another planet. The scenery in Egypt is completely different depending on the city, so I couldn't contain my excitement! #seasonal overseas places #Egypt trip #Egypt sightseeing
