I've wanted to visit Siwa since I first visited Egypt in 2009. I had no idea what it was like, never saw any pictures or videos before but it sounded interesting and mystical. It actually looks way more fascinating than I'd imagined. It reminds me a bit of Jaisalmer, India.
I also didn’t quite know what to expect, as you mentioned there’s so little coverage of it. But you’re right, it has a similar vibe to Jaisalmer. Totally worth the effort of the long journey.
Great that Gabriel and you are in touch. You both help us all in our isolation and yearning to be in the world's hidden or out-of-reach-now places. Hope you both stay safe and healthy!
Been there in 1992. Many common points with Ghardaia Algeria (both cases Berber oasis). Thank you very much for all your love, Jason. Your videos are wonderful and I do hope it will encourage as many viewers as possible to go and see the world by themselves. Humans are so diverse and yet they are one. Thanks for showing this
Ancient moroccan piligrims used to say in darija : " Khatoua khatoua, men Deroua li Sioua" ( litteraly : "step by step, walk from Deroua to Sioua") considering that the amazigh lands (berber territory) starts at Deroua ( a place on the atlantic ocean coast near Casablanca) and ending at Sioua ( in ouest Egypt) which is the uttermost border. So, don't be surprised to find amazigh culture among sioua people. Thanks for sharing.
I loved the music that you played in the desert. Something about the desert is so mystical and magical. All that vast open space makes you feel simultaneously connected and estranged from all that you know and do not know. The sunset was breathtaking. You got it going on , Jason!!! Thanks for doing such a great job. You can really see the love you have for what you do in your final product , it really shows through!!!!
I exactly came from Egypt today, and spent 3 days there including new years eve. I've been following your videos for the rest of the trip, but now seing Siwa few days after i left is bringing me a kind of nostalgia. Thanks for that material!
Wow! Now added to my list of places to visit! Something about it reminded me of parts of southern Morocco, particularly the area around Ouarzazate, Ait Benhaddou and Fintt Oasis. Can't wait to be able to travel again.
You might wonder why Australia, Canada, and the USA are the top 3 choices for the rest of the World as the most desirable immigration destinations out of 200+ nations of the world, strange isn't it, considering those 3 nations have all only existed for a few centuries, also strange that all 3 were founded by Britain which is why they speak English, and all 3 were essentially formed and built by Europeans in their early years..........
@@Mohamed_Farid --- obviously you Muslims in the Middle East ALL WANT TO CONNECT with young, attractive, NON-BURKA NON-HIJAB wearing White Western Women (being blonde helps too). That happens all the time on social media. You don't see Western Men wooing Muslim women anywhere........
What a stunning, riveting glimpse of a region off the beaten track for many visitors. Another brilliant video. Thank you for sharing this with us (many ever able to experience it personally). Michael - South Africa.
Great video! Siwa is beautiful! ❤ I'm just sad your series in Egypt is apparently nearing its end, you should stay there a while longer, film some more, it's been so enjoyable following you around!
Absolutely Stunning as Always Jason. Thank you for taking me to Siwa. Stay Safe. I wish you a Very Happy New Year 2021. Wishing you Good Health & Happiness & More Wonderful Adventures. 🎊🎉🍾🎆☘✌.
It is amazing. It is a little bit similar to my village albataliah in saudi arabia. I am planning to visit Egypt. I hope I got the chance to visit siwa
Such a surprising choice of place to visit in Egypt (only 30 miles from the Libyan border) -- but it's as authentic as it's going to get in North Africa! Love the donkeys pulling the flatbed trailers in town, same as in Tunisia and Morocco... and always, there are hospitable locals to show you around...
Jason habibi shokran for this lovely video. I was living in janub sina in the Red sea. Sharm el sheikj 's best diving centers for safari is Camel Diving center or Red Sea Diving College. Go to visit Farsha Café in El Hadaba. And go to Dahab and Ras Sheitan.
@@reggea4ever hehehe, we are Muslims, we have only one God, and by the way even our ancestors believed in one god, but from time to time, some kings were announcing themselves as gods
@@reggea4ever egyptian has different culture, different color, different accent, which makes egypt rich with different places from the east to the west and south, you will love siwa at the west, you will love Alexandria at the north, then you will be shocked when you visit Luxur and Aswan, and watch the Egyptian civilization, then you will fall in deep love with egypt when you visit Sinai, and go to Dahab and Sharm, maybe you will decide to stay and never leave, same like alot of European Americans, how to decide to shift their life to Dahab, when you leave the country, you will be thinking about one thing only, when you will return😊
Can't tell you how much I enjoyed your video Jason. You are the sort of traveller I once was, happy to go off alone to explore and experience different places. I love your quiet energy and your humility and respect, not brash and insensitive like so many Instagram travellers today. Unfortunately I can't do this sort of thing anymore, now holidays involve family and logistics includes factoring access to nice bathrooms, lattes and shopping. Plus it rather struck me how there are no women. I've heard before that Egypt isn't great for women travellers but I didn't realise that's because they'd stand out like neon lights in the dark. Anyway, thank you for letting me travel vicariously both through distance and back in time. By the way, when you were atop the fort, did anyone explain all those intricate maze-like structures? They seemed too small to have been rooms or even passages.
Thanks, Jason, for sharing the fascinating culture, history, and scenic views of the Egyptian town of Siwa. Love the information and knowledgeable perspectives you include in your videos. Beautifully done. Safe travels. New Year Blessings, Sylvia P.S. Have you posted anywhere on social media a photo of the only mud bank in the world?
Jason, wow! I'm blown away by this! Who knew that such a place still existed? That's a nice room. I always travel with family and sometimes it's hard to find a room for three people.
Interesting. Siwa is bigger than I imagined, and the Egyptians/Siwa people more friendly. Weird architecture. I can see why the ancient Egyptians worshipped the Sun in a desert country. Thanks.
Jason, you NEVER disappoint. I'm in love with you, your style, your videos. You really sell Egypt but it comes from your heart, and nowhere else. What happens after Sinai? Are you back in the UK? Stay safe, mate! Ziggy.
Fell inlove with Siwa since Iplayed AC Origins.. can't wait to visit it

They are amazigh/Berbers who still speak the language
Lovely you 2 travellers are friends
I love watching your videos
Egypty is very historical country and beautiful I love egypty people from somalia

I'm Getting Assassin's Creed: Origins flashbacks
😅😅😅👍 me too

That's why I'm here.

You are great, I inspired by your work and love to travel like you around the globe.
I love Egypt,much love from kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪jason
Gorgeous.
I was going to say “nice, western-style beds”, but then I remembered the Egyptians invent these bed lol.
Absolutely fascinating, Jason. Thank you for showing us a part of Egypt most of us never visit, a true oasis in the Sahara Desert.
I'm guessing many will visit after AC origins😂😂😂

Remembering Bayek of siwa
Smashed it again, as usual! Your videos have helped lift my spirits, stuck back in the UK this year, so thanks for that!
Jason i think you falled in love with Egypt. Nice trip. Best wishes from Spain 💕
Hello from Egypt ... i hope we can talk and be friends
Your Turkey vlog brought me to your channel.

I hope you had a good time! 😊
And you're always welcome 🧡💛💖
Very ancient and mysterious place. Love to explore and visit this place one day InshaAllah. Love from Pakistan...
Sleepy during the day and active during the night. Definitely a place made for nocturnals. Great video!
Thank you for every beautiful thing that people see because of you, about my country, Egypt ... I raise you all the time. 🇪🇬🖤
the salt lakes and wells are nice places to swim and enjoy at siwa as well
Thank Jason for posting the most beautiful videos from around the world. Your content is always so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! 🤩
Wonderful to see a vlog on a less visited part of Egypt. I will definitely consider it as part of my next trip to Egypt.
Siwa looks fascinating... Love the dates and coffee 😍👍
Thanks Jason......this is another great video ,enabling us to travel in these difficult times...wonderful stuff...cheers from Australia mate
Never heard of Siwa...such a beautiful and interesting place! Thanks for the video❣️❣️❣️😊
That temple of the oracle reminds me of the many missions in AC Origins! sneaking around, eliminate guards and looting treasures!
Wow! Now added to my list of places to visit! Something about it reminded me of parts of southern Morocco, particularly the area around Ouarzazate, Ait Benhaddou and Fintt Oasis. Can't wait to be able to travel again.
Desert Oasis towns are fascinating. Siwa is one of those exotic towns. Excellent vlog. Its so relaxing to view this in difficult times. Thanks!
It is so interesting seeing how different cultures live. I am from Australia and such a young country. These places have so much history.

I've been wanting to visit this place since I played Assassin's Creed: Origins.
Great video Jason. Amazing place , i've never heard of Siwa and i didn't know they are amazigh.
The Ancient Egyptian documentaries of Prof. Joann Fletcher brought me here.
I am still amazed on how you see things in such a positive way, I love following your amazing videos. Very relaxing
Amazing views! Almost made me cry.
Siwa Oasis desert town in Egept. The vedio blog is very excellent and beautifully
First comment from Egypt 🇪🇬
You’re a brave guy! Enjoying your videos!
