Hi Duncan, Penny, Sasha, Claudia, Angus

Thought I would drop you a line to say thank you for all your kind hospitality during our stay in Siwa. We all had a wonderful time and really enjoyed seeing all the really interesting places in and around Siwa. It is an experience that I am sure Ben and Josh will remember for a long time. It was great to catch up with you all and get first hand experience of what you are up to. You seem to be doing some interesting and rewarding things with your time.

Thanks again and see you soon

Hello to you all. I just wanted to write a small thank you note in appreciation of all your hospitality shown on my first (and certainly not my last !) visit to your home in the Oasis.

My visit to Siwa in March was amazing. The stay at the Shali Villa, being surrounded by medieval streets was a step back in time but with all the comforts of 20th century living. To experience a sunrise on the roof terrace or watching the old Shali lit at night were both equally unforgettable. Visiting palm gardens, the nearby lakes and walking in the Sahara seeing a landscape viewed unchanged since pharaonic times, made it all definitely a holiday 'Somewhere different' !

I look forward to seeing you all again later this year

With very best wishes.

Helen
