Siwa Oasis: Pure, Phosphate-Free Water
While Egypt's villages and cities suffer from a shortage of drinking water, some areas have a lot of pure water, free from pollution, phosphates, or dead animals ... One of these areas is the Siwa Oasis, which contains the purest water in the world. Siwa Oasis is one of the best areas in Egypt where you will find natural water wells. We export a large amount of this water outside Egypt. There are dozens of freshwater wells including large, huge wells, and small wells in Siwa Oasis. Egypt Travel Packages often include trips to Siwa Oasis for its pristine water and unique landscapes. Siwa is the mouth of the Egyptian Nubian Reservoir, the largest underground water reservoir in Egypt, which originates from Nubia and Aswan and passes through desert areas and small oases. Egypt Day Tours to Siwa allow travelers to experience the oasis's exceptional water resources and stunning desert beauty. The oasis is famous for investing in the groundwater sector, and natural water factories have been implemented, including Siwa Water Factory, Hayat Water Factory, Aqua Siwa, Safi, and Aman Siwa Water.
Water wells are not limited to drinking only, but their use in Siwa is multipurpose, as they are used for drinking, agriculture, and tourism for large wells such as Ain Cleopatra and Ain Rajwa to which tourist trips are organized. Egypt Shore Excursions from nearby ports also offer visits to these famous water sites. The government prevents the construction and drilling of new wells in the oasis due to the issue of agricultural drainage and the high level of water underground, where water is found 30 centimeters deep from the surface of the earth due to the proliferation of wells and the drilling of random wells. The Ministry of Irrigation and Water Resources is fighting the drilling of new wells, which has been banned except by instructions from the Ministry of Irrigation according to needs, and according to certain specifications regulated by the Groundwater Authority. There are dozens of wells in the oasis, including ancient Roman wells that have existed for hundreds of years, such as Ain Cleopatra, and new deep wells, which were drilled in the early 1990s and have a depth of nearly 1,000 cubic meters, says Haj Ibrahim Saleh Mohammed, a tribal elder from Siwa. In addition to the third type of wells, which are random wells dug by agricultural land reclamationists for the purpose of farming, he explained that all water from these wells is pure.
For his part, Salama Mohammed, a Siwa resident, said that there are healing water wells that people in Siwa go to for treatment, especially for children's skin diseases, and the child bathes in it three times, with positive and excellent results. Sayed Haboun, sales manager at a mineral water factory, says that Siwa Oasis is blessed with natural pure water, and is exported to some Arab and European countries according to market demand, in addition to the demand of a large segment of society to drink mineral water. This natural resource adds a unique touch to Egypt Tours packages from USA, making it a favored destination for tourists looking to experience authentic Egyptian landscapes and culture.

The sulfur springs in Abu Zenima are known as «Pharaoh's Bath» and their hot water flows into the sea without benefiting from it. However, some tourism companies obtained approvals to exploit the area and transform it into a tourist and therapeutic resort, and began constructing concrete structures, but they were not completed.
Musa Baths are characterized by a temperature of 37 degrees throughout the year and their water is rich in sodium and magnesium. It is located in South Sinai, one of the most famous medical tourism places in the governorate.
Hammam Musa is located 5 kilometers from Tur Sinai –the capital of the governorate - surrounded by many palm trees, and has sulfurous waters with multiple mineral elements.
It is noteworthy that the sodium found in the water of Hammam Musa helps speed up wound healing, while magnesium helps the color cells in the skin regain their vitality, to restore the natural color of the skin, and has a strong effect on treating various skin diseases such as vitiligo, psoriasis, and skin tags.
