Floating in the Salt Lakes The lakes’ salt concentration is so high that you’ll float without any effort — a relaxing and surreal experience. The water is incredibly clear, reflecting the desert sky in shades of turquoise and emerald. The natural minerals in the water are believed to have therapeutic properties for the skin and joints. Stunning Photography Spots The contrast between the white salt crystals, blue-green water, and golden desert makes for breathtaking photos. Bring swimwear, towel, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Don’t shave or have open cuts before swimming (the salt stings!). Bring a waterproof camera — you’ll want to capture the surreal scenery. Respect the fragile environment; don’t take salt or disturb the natural formations.

Climb to the Top: The top of Shali offers panoramic views of the entire oasis — palm groves, salt lakes, and distant sand dunes. It’s especially stunning at sunset, when the golden light bathes the ruins. Explore the Alleyways: Wander through ancient passageways and partially preserved mud-brick houses. It’s easy to imagine life in this self-contained desert fortress centuries ago. Visit the Old Mosque: One of the oldest structures in Shali, featuring a small minaret and beautifully weathered architecture. Photography: The soft textures of kershef, the desert light, and the earthy tones make Shali a dream for photographers. Cultural Events & Restoration: Some areas have been restored for cultural festivals and eco-projects, preserving Siwa’s heritage while promoting sustainable tourism.
