This isn't just any pool; it’s a natural stone basin fed by an ancient, bubbling spring. Local lore suggests that the Queen of the Nile herself once graced these waters. Whether or not that’s true, standing at the edge of this circular spring—located right on the path leading to the historic Temple of Amun—you can feel the weight of centuries of history.

The Experience: More Than Just a Swim
The pool is a natural wonder—a deep, turquoise circle of fresh water surrounded by palm trees and local cafes. While past reports suggested the area needed a bit of love, recent efforts have restored its charm. Today, it stands as a refreshing sanctuary where travelers can wash away the desert dust after exploring the nearby Temple of the Oracle.

Navigating Local Traditions
Siwa is a place of deep-rooted culture and timeless customs. To truly enjoy your visit, it’s important to respect the local "Siwi" way of life.

Unlike the beach resorts of the Red Sea, the natural springs here are integrated into daily life. We recommend that our guests avoid "skimpy" swimwear. Instead, consider wearing a light, breathable t-shirt or a dedicated swimming cover-up. Not only does this honor local traditions, but it also protects your skin from the intense Egyptian sun!

How to Reach This Desert Oasis
Reaching the remote beauty of Siwa is part of the adventure, but it requires a bit of planning. Located roughly 750km from Cairo, the journey through the Western Desert is long, but the reward is incomparable.
