About Siwa
Siwai Oasis and the Western Desert covers millions of miles towards Libya. It’s a spectacular and harsh landscape described by the Arabs as ‘the land abandoned by God’. Much of the land is still undiscovered. The best places to stay in Siwa are eco lodges for varying budgets.
Siwa is a Berber region filled with date palm and olive groves. Olive oil from the region is a main export to Europe.
Amongst many attractions to see there is Cleopatra's Bath, a natural hot spring, the Temple of Hibis, the Oasis Heritage Museum, Temple of the Oracle, and the Monastery of al-Kashef. There are many activities ranging from camel safaris, desert jeep rides, sand boarding, bathing natural springs, and candle lit dinners in the desert. It's rather romantic though there are lots of things to do for families.
The best places to stay in Siwa are mud brick lodges in the style of the desert.
