Siwa is located in the western part of Egypt in that stretch of the Sahara which is known as the Libyan Desert. This oasis has a population of approximately 23,000 inhabitants most of whom live in the main town while some live in the few villages in the region.
Siwa’s moderate climate is the best in the country for therapeutic purposes. During spring and autumn, the weather is the most pleasant. Summer and winter experience extreme temperatures.
This site is believed to have been inhabited for more than 12,000 years. An oracle temple built here 2,500 yeas ago was regarded highly by the ancient Egyptian rulers, and thus, the area flourished.
Today, the area is far away and isolated from the larger cities; its inhabitants are mostly of nomadic origin whose main activity is agriculture.
