Siwa, Egypt Journey with us as we explore the oasis of Bir Wahed in the Sahara Desert of Siwa, Egypt. About Bir Wahed Springs ""A favorite excursion is the cold freshwater lake at Bir Wahed. Once over the top of a high dune, you come to [Bir Wahed Springs], a hot spring, the size of a large jacuzzi, where sulfurous water bubbles in a pool and runs off to irrigate a garden. Cooling down in the lake, and then watching the sun setting over the dunes while soaking in a hot spring is a surreal experience. This spring sits among the dunes on the edge of the Great Sand Sea, and amazing sunsets are guaranteed.""
