Egypt, an eternally unknown travel destination that stimulates human imagination! Cairo, Giza, a mysterious land that has not slept for 4,500 years. Siwa Bahariya, an oasis of life found in a barren desert. Aswan and Abu Simbel, a world blooming along the Nile River. Luxor, a landscape where life and death coexist. Let’s go to a place where a new story begins in every city we stop in! To Egypt.
This week (March 25-28, 2024), the 4-part series ‘Pure White Fairy Tale, Finland’ will be broadcast on ‘World Theme Travel’. Part 2 of ‘World Theme Travel’, ‘Egypt Nowhere in the World’, ‘The Reason the Desert is Beautiful, Siwa and Bahariya’ will be broadcast on EBS1TV at 8:40 pm today (26th).
Oasis desert city, Siwa Bahariya
95% of Egypt’s land area is covered with desert. So if you don’t go into the desert in Egypt, doesn’t that mean you won’t be able to see less than 5% of Egypt?
This journey heads deep into the desert, braving the sandstorm that blows as soon as you leave Cairo. Siwa is the most famous oasis city in the Egyptian desert. It is located in a low-lying area up to 19 meters below sea level due to a collapse of the strata, and is dotted with about 200 natural springs and lakes.
From Cleopatra’s Pool, known as the bathhouse of the legendary female pharaoh, Cleopatra, to the Salt Lake filled with 95% pure salt, you can soak in the richness of the oasis city. The land with spring water and salt grew green trees even in the dry desert and enriched the culture.
Siwa Salt Lamp, a specialty product made with Egypt’s highest quality olives and pure salt, is a must-have shopping item in Siwa. How to travel to Siwa! It’s great to relax and enjoy the romance of an oasis, but it’s also good to get an adrenaline rush in the golden Sahara.
The mind awakened by the desert safari, running up and down sand dunes piled up hundreds of meters high, heads to the other side of the Sahara, Bahariya Oasis. It is a place where deserts with unique landscapes within the Sahara, including the Black Desert and Crystal Mountain, are gathered.
The journey, which feels like exploring an alien planet, culminates in the White Desert. An unforgettable night spent under a huge, white limestone sculpture standing in a strange shape. Travelers feel it again. The desert can be beautiful because there is an oasis, and the oasis is meaningful because there is a desert.
EBS1’s ‘World Theme Travel’, a travel program that delivers real-life experiences, is broadcast every Monday to Thursday at 8:40 PM.
