Siwa is the most remote of the Egyptian oases, it is 18.3m below sea level on the old caravan route. It is a small island of life in the heart of the Western Desert, separated from Cairo by a distance of 550 kilometers of lifeless desert.
It was here, in the oasis of Siwa, to the oracle, that Alexander the Great once came. The inhabitants of Siwa have also preserved tribal government – 11 chiefs and sheikhs form the local council. Until the 1980s there was no television and transport was limited to donkey sledges.
