to the oasis town of Siwa. With plently of date palms and fresh water springs Siwa offers a great insight into mid-desert life, with donkey carts being the main mode of transport. With its fair share of Greco-Roman ruins and its abundance of mosquitos it has to take your mind off the strict conservative muslim ethics that the town's map asks you to respect.

Siwa
We took a 9 hr detour through the desert, close to the Libyan border 
to the oasis town of Siwa. With plently of date palms and fresh water springs Siwa offers a great insight into mid-desert life, with donkey carts being the main mode of transport. With its fair share of Greco-Roman ruins and its abundance of mosquitos it has to take your mind off the strict conservative muslim ethics that the town's map asks you to respect.
