CAIRO – 11October 2017: At the foot of a mountain in Siwa, there is a place called “Al-Tibtah.” It is a fusion between a tourist center and a medical center due to the presence of a lake that is over 95 percent salt.

The lake is four meters in depth, but you cannot drown in it due to the heavy capacity of this water, as there is a large amount of natural salt mixed in it.

Siwis traditionally utilize this salt in building homes and shaping their tools and also lamps, believed to produce healing energy with the heat of the light source.
