Siwa: A Natural Wonder Reimagined

Nestled approximately 560 kilometers from Cairo, Siwa Oasis stands as one of nature’s finest masterpieces, a serene haven situated 25 meters below sea level. This breathtaking oasis is adorned with lush palm groves, carefully cultivated amidst charming mud-brick homes, creating a harmonious blend of tradition and natural beauty.

Siwa is renowned for its pristine springs, tranquil lakes, and flowing rivers, offering respite from the sun's relentless embrace. Among its treasures lies a remarkable salt lake, four meters deep yet paradoxically buoyant. Thanks to its extraordinary salinity, the water cradles anyone who enters, making sinking an impossibility.

This enchanting oasis, with its abundant natural salt deposits, is the essence of our salt lamps—bringing the purity and tranquility of Siwa into your home.

The Siwa Rock Salt

The rock salt used in Oasis Salt creations is a treasure formed millions of years ago amidst the breathtaking Egyptian desert, within the enchanting Siwa Oasis. Renowned for its unparalleled purity, this ancient salt drew the attention of history's icons—Queen Cleopatra journeyed to Siwa to bathe in its famed salt lakes, celebrated for their healing powers, while Alexander the Great chose this sacred oasis as the site of his divine ascension as the son of Amun.

Today, Siwa remains a symbol of purity and serenity, its salt lakes revered for their restorative and cleansing properties. Much like the legends of old, modern travelers, including select luminaries, seek Siwa's mystical allure for its transformative magic. It is within this untouched haven, free from urban blemishes, that the local Siwan community meticulously handcrafts each of our salt lamps and candle holders. Combining the natural wonder of Siwa’s salt with the enduring traditions of their ancient craftsmanship, they bring a timeless essence of healing and beauty into every piece.
