<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 2761105, member: 87200&quot;]Siwa is a very interesting place. I was able to procure lodging for 30 Egyptian pounds per night (about $5.20) so I stayed for three days. The central part of town is dominated by a medieval mud brick <i>qasr</i> that is illuminated by night. After my visit to the oracle in the temple (basically it&#039;s a niche) I enjoyed a nice meal of roast chicken washed down with a beer as I enjoyed the glow of the qasr at in the evening. By then it had cooled off to the mid-eighties.&nbsp; It&#039;s a bit of a frontier town with both berber and arab influences. Somebody swiped my phone out of my backpack when I first arrived, so no pictures (boo-hoo). [/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
