Surprisingly, Siwa’s salt lagoons were only discovered in 2011 as part of a large salt mine. Today, there are hundreds of these lagoons scattered throughout Siwa, and Egypt exports salt globally.
With a salt concentration of over 95%, you literally cannot sink in these lagoons. If you do just one thing in Siwa, make sure it’s visiting these stunning salt lagoons.
It’s an unparalleled, once-in-a-lifetime experience, and the best part is—they’re free!
