Siwa Oasis is on the edge of the Great Sand Sea in the Sahara Desert

We live in a Siwan garden on the edge of the Sahara Desert which has
a swimming pool and camp area amongst the olive trees for you to use at any time.

If you really want to get away from it all, we have 60 acres of sand dunes next to
a lake 25 minutes away (pictured above) where you can camp out and count the stars.
