' Bir Wahed': Bir Wahed is not only one of the new tourist traps of Siwa, but it is also a quiet, secluded place, which makes it an ideal place to spend the late afternoons and evenings.
This is a well that is set out 12 km southwest of Siwa. You need to rent a 4X4 car to get there.
Bir Wahed is the home of two very popular springs; Ain Sukhna (a natural hot spring), and the Cold Spring.
Fitnas Island: The Fitnas Island lies about io meters out into Birket Siwa, and is completely covered by palm trees, except for the circular, tiled pool. Definitely a sight worth seeing!
Experience the barren Great Sand Sea and enjoy the deserted salt lakes with the occasional migrating Pink Flamingos. Drive to Baharia Oasis, then escape civilization to the Great Sand Sea overlooking the long uninhabited salt lakes. Visit the mystical oasis of Siwa and its famous oracle and palm trees.
