This is not a world from a game, but a real desert oasis

After spending more than 20 days in Egypt, my favorite small town has to be Siwa.

When you mention Siwa, many people naturally think of that famous game, but when you arrive here, you will find the game scenes familiar, yet this place is an even more real world.

Desert oasis is Siwa’s title. Here, date palm trees are everywhere. Climb the Shali Fortress and you can see a vast expanse of green, with a lake behind the greenery, quietly announcing the identity of the oasis.

Siwa travel tips:

1. Siwa is very hot, so everyone needs to pay attention to sun protection during the day.

2. Siwa is not big; the small town can be explored on foot. It is recommended to start in the afternoon because many shops are closed in the morning.

3. For souvenirs in Siwa, you can go to the entrance of Shali Fortress, where there is a row of shops selling souvenirs.

4. Shali Fortress and the Mountain of the Dead are adjacent, and the two attractions can be visited one after the other. It is recommended to visit Shali Fortress last, so you can enjoy the beautiful sunset. The desert dusk is truly stunning!

Siwa is a place that makes people reluctant to leave and is worth visiting again!
