Siwa Oasis, the most secluded among the Western Desert’s oases, remained off-limits for nearly two decades, with strict travel restrictions in place. It wasn’t until the 1980s that these constraints were finally lifted. This oasis is truly one-of-a-kind, boasting its own set of customs and a rich history, much of which is documented in the secretive Siwan Manuscript, an archive inaccessible to outsiders.
Situated at the farthest reach of Egyptian depressions from the fertile Nile Valley, some sections of the oasis rest a remarkable 60 meters below sea level. To the south of the oasis, one can witness the onset of the awe-inspiring Great Sand Sea, a vast expanse of desert dunes.
Siwa Oasis bears the imprints of civilization dating back to the time of the pharaohs, followed by influences from the Greeks and Romans, Persians, and various North African societies. This historical tapestry only adds to the oasis’s mystique.
