Temple of Umm Obeyda
The Oracle Temple
Aghormy Village
Tombs of Jabal El MawtaThe Siwa Oasis (واحة سيوة) is located at the northwest of Egypt near the border of Libya. We took an overnight bus from Alexandria and arrived there in an early morning. We rent bikes to reach all the ruins, springs and lakes. Its ruins are famous for being the ancient home to the oracle of Amon, which was a god in Egyptian mythology. This is the place that Alexander the Great traveled to consult the Oracle and to be confirmed as God and King of Egypt. The ruins are not far from each other, so it's easy to tour around and see all the ruins in half a day.
