Egypt and Jordan Cities info :

Siwa, the most inaccessible of all Egypt's oases until very recently, is also one of the most fascinating. On the edge of the Great Sand Sea, its rich history includes a visit from Alexander the Great to consult the Oracle of Amun in 331 BC. Siwans have their own culture and customs and they speak a Berber language, Siwi, rather than Arabic. Many women still wear traditional costumes and silver jewellery like those displayed in “The Traditional Siwan House” museum in the town centre. Siwa remains one of the best places to buy jewellery, rugs, baskets and traditional robes and head-dresses, decorated with antique coins.Near the Oracle is a ruined Temple of Amun and the famous Cleopatra Bath, a deep pool of bubbling water where you can bathe.

Wherever you stay, enjoy the tranquility of the Bedouin lifestyle, the date groves, pigeon towers and blue-washed mud houses. For adventure and excitement explore the majesty of the desert by camel or jeep safari, spend a night under the stars and take a morning dip in the hot springs. Let the night skies and the silent spaces create your own personal oasis -an inner peace to take back with you when you leave.
