The Siwa Oasis is an oasis that is located between the Qattara Depression and the Egyptian Sand Sea in the Western Desert of the Arab Republic of Egypt.
As it is very close to the Libyan border, there is a settlement which is one of the most isolated ones in the country, as there are around 23,000 inhabitants, where most of them are Berbers who have developed a unique culture and distinct language called Siwi.
Extending some 80 km (50 mi) in length and 20 km (12 mi) in width, it stands almost 20 meters (66 feet) below sea level, and there is an abundance of olive and palm trees that are extending over the horizon.
As it is a great historic masterpiece, there are plenty of things which are worth to be seen.
All in all, a different experience from the magnificent Egypt which will take you back in time, and bring you back with the amazing and very friendly local Berber population, simply a perfect spot for the adventurous people who are eager to learn history while exploring the Siwa Oasis.
