The Palm Land
Siwa is ideal for daydreaming in the desert. Nestled approximately 25 meters below sea level and teeming with olive trees and palms, this location embodies the relaxed lifestyle of an oasis. Nestled within verdant trees, hunched, slouching mud-brick settlements are linked by meandering dirt paths where trundling donkey carts continue to be an integral aspect of the street scene alongside stumbling motorbikes and four-wheel drive vehicles. Crystal-clear springs are dotted around the oasis, providing a wonderful diversion from the intense heat. The Great Sand Sea’s waves at the oasis’ edge roll to the horizon, offering adventurers in the desert endless opportunities for discovery.
