Siwa Oasis seems to spring out of nowhere, its lush, green orchards glistening like a mirage in the surrounding barren and inhospitable desert. More than 300 freshwater springs and streams sustain this remote desert oasis, feeding 300,000 date palms and 70,000 olive trees. There are hundreds of salt pools spread throughout the Siwa Oasis region of Egypt. The pools are actually part of a salt mine right outside of the town. Both hot and cold salt pools can be found in Siwa, as well as salty and fresh water springs. (Siwa Oasis, Egypt)
