What are the scenic spots in Shiva, Egypt?

Sivak is near the Sahara. There are very good attractions here. Of course, you can go to see hot springs and sunsets. The scenery here is also worth a visit. Here are some related scenic spots.

Siva is located on the edge of the Sahara desert, 50 kilometers to the west, which is the border between Egypt and Libya. In 33 1 BC, Alexander set out from today's Alexandria and trudged in the desert for eight days and eight nights to arrive at the legendary oasis in this desert. He accepted the Oracle of the Prophet Amon and became the legal ruler of Alexander the Great and Egypt in the name of the son of God.

As early as the 5th century BC, King Cambyses of Persia led 50,000 troops out to try to break the curse of the Oracle of Amon, but he got lost in the desert and the whole army disappeared into the vast sea of sand.

The legend of the past has long been in ruins. Nowadays, because of its remote geographical location and inconvenient transportation, Siwa maintains an isolated and enjoyable life, and there are hardly any traces of modern cities here.

About staying at a hotel in West Varelas.

Closed door is the most primitive and romantic way of life without electricity. The hotel is located on the salt side of Siva. All the houses are made of natural materials, such as salt lake mud and palm leaves. The floor of the room is covered with a thick layer of saline-alkali crystals, and the layout is full of original designs. Freshwater is put at the door by the staff in clay pots every day, and when night falls, they knock on the door and light candles.

The room type booked by our group of three people is a suite, and the price is $65,438+025 per night, which is the only room type (even two rooms) with separate bathrooms in the hotel. Other rooms need to enjoy the public bathroom of the hotel. There are Wi-Fi and rechargeable plug-in boards in the restaurant, which are the only modern things I have seen in Siva these days.

The owner of the hotel is a confident and beautiful Cairo woman. During her trip to Egypt, it was rare to see women exposed except their eyes without wearing headscarves. She wore beautiful handmade suspenders and painted elegant and decent makeup, revealing a healthy back and arms.

Siwa Oasis is full of historical sites and natural landscapes. Because it is scattered and difficult to take a taxi, the best way is to charter a car. When I arrived in Shiva, I asked the price at the station and quoted 2000 Egyptian pounds a day. The hotel owner quoted 1000 Egyptian pounds, which was directly reduced by half.

Cleopatra's hot spring eye is recommended as a scenic spot.

It is said that a huge stone hot spring pool was built for Cleopatra. We can't help but be attracted to the Siwa Oasis, which is short of water and electricity in the desert, and a warm spring spewing out of the ground, even if it is just a concept.

There are several lovely cafes around the hot spring pool, and friends spread out on the sofa to drink juice and chat. On a whim, they jumped into the hot spring pool for ten minutes, and the afternoon passed leisurely.

Dead mountain

Dead Mountain is the burial place of the dead in Guxiwa. At the foot of the mountain, there are large palm trees and date palms. On the top of the mountain, you can overlook the whole ancient town of Siva. The cave on the rock is a tomb for storing mummies, and some funerary objects and murals are also preserved in the tomb for tourists to visit.

Oracle temple

It was built in the sixth century BC, and Alexander the Great came here 300 years later to receive the Oracle of Amon. The Oracle Hall was built by using the traditional building materials and technology of Siva-drying and compacting the rocks in the salt lake, and then pressing them with natural materials such as clay, stones and branches.

Sunset on Lake Siva, Tenas Island.

The most popular place to watch the sunset in Shiva is to sit under a palm tree, light a pot of hookah and a pot of tea, blow the wind from the inland and watch the sunset fall into the lake bit by bit.

That's where we live. I even think the sunset here is more beautiful than Tenas Island.
