Fatnas
For a nice relaxed afternoon, it is hard to
find a nicer destination than Fatnas Island. Just take a bike
or a donkey cart for a slow ride through the oasis - about 7
km- on winding roads through shady groves and sunny fields,
until you reach the oasis island.
If you feel hot and sweaty, there is a
freshwater spring to cool yourself in at comfortable 28
degrees C. If you prefer to sit and stare into the eye of the
spring, you will see a constant stream of silvery bubbles,
circling upward through the turquoise water.
Do not worry about the brown stuff sometimes
on the surface, it is just 100 % natural algae, and not
harmful at all.
There are two cozy outdoor cafés for
refreshments with nice palm wood furniture. You can choose to
stay and sit until the
sun sets behind sand dunes, or lay down and
dream in a hammock between palm trees. Swaying slowly in the
soft wind, you will soon forget all about the worries of the
world………..
Juba Bath (Cleopatra Bath)
Another favourite bathing spot for locals and
tourists is Fatnas Island, located on the salt
lake of Birket Siwa, surrounded by palm trees and
beautiful scenery.
