Siwa and Surroundings

Winter in Egypt

Siwa is an oasis in the Sahara Desert in northwestern Egypt close to the border of Libya. Nowadays it consists of several villages and two lakes connected by fields of mainly date palms and olive trees. The place has plenty of both nature and history lumped together in a relatively small area, so I spend a lot of time biking around between the palm trees finding my way around the oasis. These photos are from the first day that I spent there.
