After a delicious breakfast and some time, we went to the Incredible Salt Pools. This was our main reason to visit Siwa. There are hundreds of Salt Pools in the area and you can easily float in the Pools as they have huge concentration of Salt in them. This allows you to float in the waters without the fear of drowning. This is once in a lifetime experience. 10/10. Tip:- There is local transportation so you don't need to worry about getting to the location of the Pools. And bring lots of water with you in order to clean yourself after taking a dip in the Salt water and avoid touching your eyes
