2025 Qesm Siwah Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Located in the western part of Egypt, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Siwa Oasis is one of the most serene places to visit in Egypt. Flanked by towering date palms and encompassed by several picturesque water springs, this charming little oasis makes for one of the most beautiful tourist spots in the Western Desert. This place is surrounded by the remnants of a magnificent mud-brick fortification. Siwa Oasis can be the perfect base from where you can plan your adventure tours to the vast surrounding desert. The oasis is inhabited by Berber-speaking Sudanic peoples who live in mud-brick houses at the foot of their former strongholds. Ten miles (16 km) northeast is the small oasis of Al-Zaytūn (Zeitun), and westward a chain of little oases and small salty pools extends for about 50 miles (80 km). Siwa Oasis is extremely fertile and supports thousands of date palms and olive trees. The export of dates and olive oil provide the chief source of income, supplemented by basketry.

Siwa in Egypt is a world-renowned tourist destination, attracting thousands of visitors daily. Siwa boasts numerous natural attractions, and today we introduce a famous local natural site: Siwa Salt Lake. It's free to visit and take photos 📸, no ticket required. This vast salt lake sparkles like a sapphire under the sun, making it incredibly beautiful and photogenic 📸. You can also swim in the salt lake. Address: 6J39+P67, Siwa, Marsa Matrouh Governorate 5011702, Egypt

#2月好地方2025 Matruh in Egypt is a world-famous tourist resort city. Tourists from all over the world come to Matruh in Egypt for sightseeing and vacation. Today I recommend a famous oasis attraction: Siwa Salt Lake. Siwa Salt Lake is located in the center of the desert in western Egypt, about 750 kilometers from the capital Cairo. The area is sparsely populated, with less than 30,000 people living there. It is geographically remote, far away from the hustle and bustle of modern cities. You can choose to charter a car, drive yourself or take a bus. The traditional culture and language of the Berbers, Siwi, have been completely preserved here for thousands of years, forming a cultural style that is completely different from the mainstream culture of Egypt. The oasis town is surrounded by olive and palm trees, and the salt lake is crystal clear. It was formed naturally during the salt mining process by the Egyptians. Wear plastic slippers to prevent scratches from sharp particles. Due to the extremely high salt content, do not let it get into your eyes and rinse them out immediately. Some chartered car drivers will prepare these for you. It depends on your luck what kind of driver you will meet. Try to dry yourself or take a shower immediately after getting out of the water to avoid damaging your skin. It is very suitable for taking photos, checking in, and learning about history and sightseeing. Address: Salt lakes Opening hours: All day

#New York Flight Ticket Event #Siwa Oasis #Egypt A village on a hill, and a circular watchtower This is the trace of an old village in Siwa Oasis. As it is the oldest oasis in Egypt, people must have lived there for thousands of years. The village would have been in the best location to prepare for enemies who were after the oasis' resources (water, dates, etc. for food), so my curiosity about why they built a village on such a hill was resolved the moment I climbed up the watchtower. The desert is almost a plain, so it looks really far away.

#NewYorkFlightEvent #SiwaOasis #Egypt Of course, there is no cafe. But as I was walking slowly, I saw a few Egyptians beckoning from afar. Why? I'm a coffee shop owner. I'm going to make coffee. Do you want some? Free? No! 50 egp! It was expensive, but I didn't haggle and bought it. They brought water in the car from Miul, lighted a fire, made a cup of coffee, and solicited customers. It was so sincere 😅 The taste and aroma were both good. Strangely, it seemed a little salty...

#NewYorkFlightEvent #Egypt If you want emerald photos that are posted on Instagram, it is better to come during the day. At that time, photos are the main characters. It is difficult to properly capture the salt lake with your eyes due to the sunlight and reflected light that is dizzying. If you want to capture more with your eyes than photos, I recommend sunrise. How beautiful the sun slowly rises over the quiet Lake of Death with only the sound of the wind is only something that you will know if you have not seen it in person.

#New York Flight Event #Egypt #Siwa Oasis Siwa, seen in aerial photos, was a land of life, surrounded by a huge blue lake. However, the lake of the oasis that we actually encountered was a place where life could not survive, even saltier than the Dead Sea. AKA Salt Lake Next to the heavy equipment that was diligently digging salt, the mountain of salt piled up tells us that this was a sea tens of millions of years ago. Siwa Salt Lake is a space that shows the paradox of the ecosystem, as life cannot survive in this salty water, but life cannot survive without salt.

#New YorkFlightEvent #Siwa #Egypt The Sahara Desert was once a sea. You must have seen it in textbooks. If you travel to Siwa Oasis, You can see the evidence in real life 😄 First, it's a salt lake that's saltier than the sea. And second, it's a fossil. If you look closely around the strata, you'll see a lot of shell fossils. Don't take it because it's strange. Close your eyes and imagine the sound of the sea a long time ago ✌️

#New York Flight Ticket Event #Egypt #Siwa ##Sahara Desert Siwa, the oasis town of Egypt! In this ancient oasis with a fantastic salt lake and the legend of Queen Cleopatra and Alexander the Great, you can meet the Sahara Desert that you only saw in documentaries in 10 minutes by car. However, communication is poor and there are no roads in the desert, so never go alone and be accompanied by a local guide (Bedouin)😊
