A remote oasis in the heart of the northwestern desert, about 560 kilometers from Kaesong, Siwa, Egypt, is known for its unique Berber culture, ancient ruins and pristine natural beauty. It is home to the Temple of Amun, where ancient Egyptian pharaohs made pilgrimages, and the "Hall of Prophecy" at the site, which still retains its beautiful frescoes. The Siva Salt Lake reflects the desert like a mirror, and the Pharaoh's Mountain (with its fingerprint-like rock formations) and desert sunsets form a magnificent picture. The local people speak Siva, retain traditional mud-brick houses and crafts, and the desert camping and stargazing experiences make this place a secret destination for explorers. As the crossroads of the Nile and Saharan civilizations, Siwa is a perfect blend of historical mystery and natural wildness, making it an unmissable hideaway in Egypt.
