Hello ,
This little message to tell you that we have returned to France where the cold was waiting for us. We want to tell you how satisfied we are with this wonderful trip during which we have discovered another Egypt. On the other hand closer to the daily life of its inhabitants. This enriches our knowledge of peoples so different from us.
We would like to thank you in particular for your professionalism and the seriousness with which you organize your stays. Thank the drivers for us: Mahrmoud, Mohamed and Mr Assap (sorry for the spelling). As well as Ahmed for his availability, his kindness, his great culture of the history of your country and for all the things he taught us.
On Islam and its practice. Also for all the much appreciated little extras: mango and Egyptian pear juice, sugar cane juice, camel milk, preparation of carcadet, bean fritters and oasis fruits.
Very courteously – Lysiane & Francis

Siwa Oasis
Located 300 km south-west of Marsa-Matrouh. It is the northernmost of the five great oases of the Libyan desert. Inhabited by descendants of the Berbers, the Siwis. In fact, the oasis stands apart in Egypt. Here, we speak Siwie, a dialect completely different from Arabic. To see: Shali, the old town of Siwa, the gebel El-Mawta or the mountain of Mor, the lakes heard and the Sea of Sand. Moreover, Siwa Oasis is one of the preferable destinations for anyone wishing to take their trip to Egypt off the beaten track.

This is an opportunity to make an unforgettable excursion. On foot, by camel or by 4X4. However, you are guaranteed to cross spectacular landscapes. So with rocks in the shape of mushrooms, birds and animals. In fact, during your trip to This setting will make you happy in search of breathtaking panoramas.
