HOW TO HAVE THE BEST TIME AT THE EGYPT SIWA OASIS TOUR
Do you dream of Aladdin and Jasmine and want to experience living like them? If you answered yes, then Egypt has a town that will match the exact fictional town in which Aladdin and Jasmine’s love story blossomed. That town is Siwa, an oasis in the desert.

Sandy alleys are surrounded by palm trees and mud brick dwellings, with the odd donkey cart or tuk-tuk passing by. The Siwa oasis is the ideal spot to unwind and unwind for a few days. Siwa, while being a tiny town, has a lot to offer.

Float On Water When In Siwa
If you thought that the Dead Sea was the only place where you could float on water, then you were completely wrong. In the middle of the desert in Egypt lies a sweet oasis called Siwa that has surprisingly sweet fresh water and hot water springs, along with salt water pools all nearby. No wonder Siwa looks like a fictional town made into reality with the help of a magic town. Now enough of the praises for Siwa. You can take a dip in one of the saltwater pools where the salt content is so high that your density becomes lower than that of water and you can float on water. Without further ado, you should contact team Yup Africano and book your customized group trips in Dubai to visit this wonderful oasis, “Siwa”.
An Insider Tip for Visiting Salt Lake:
Avoid going into the pool if you have open wounds or cuts. Remember to carry a lot of drinking water as you can easily get dehydrated here.
If Floating Isn’t Your Idea, Then Relax In Salt Rooms
If you say that you have already been to Jordan, been to the Dead Sea, and floating isn’t appealing to you, then Siwa has a lot more in store for you. Salt is the largest commodity that is traded from Siwa because it is abundant in this region. As tourists started flowing into the town in the late 90s, the locals started building salt rooms within salt mines. Salt is known to be a great magnet for stress, so if you want to have a few calm minutes away from the worries of the world, then visit one such salt room in Siwa and have a moment to yourself. The Zen-like feeling that you will get while relaxing in one of the salt rooms will leave you completely rejuvenated. If relaxing has been high on your mind, then you must book your Dubai to Egypt tour packages at the earliest. The locals make a lot of artifacts using locally sourced salts. You can buy a few of them and take them back as memorabilia.

Just when you thought about Siwa being all about a laid-back town and a great relaxing spot we are here to prove you wrong one more time, Siwa has a history and a very glorious one.
