Egypt: Siwa revisited


Today I read that some major tour operators were reinstating tours to Egypt.  What a relief.   Egypt is such an incredible country with such incredible things to see.  Here is a photo I took last year in the Egyptian desert at an oasis called Siwa.  We stayed at an eco-resort, which means that we had no electricity, but lots of running water, and luxury minus the electricity.  Our three day stay was highlighted by a late afternoon jeep caravan into the desert followed by a candle-lit dinner on tables with elelgant candelabra and superb Bedouin cuisine.  It's wonderful to know that people are going to be able to again share in this desert experience.
