Sep 15, 2006 - What's The Story Morning Glory? (Siwa Oasis, Egypt)

The image I conjure when hear the term "oasis" is one formed in my childhood thanks to Bugs Bunny cartoons and old Sinbad the Sailor movies so I was filled with both curosity and apprehension on the long bus ride from Alex to the Siwa oasis. If the Siwa Oasis proves disappointing then I'll have to revise my entire philosophy on life and well. ... Many travellers we have met along the way call the Siwa Oasis the most beautiful place on earth. ... Neither Neeta and I subscribe to that particular point of view, having seen the beauty of Vancouver, but standing on the top of the mud ruins of the old town of Shali looking over the thick groves of palm trees towards the Great Sand Sea, one can understand the beauty of the oasis.The image I conjure when hear the term "oasis" is one formed in my childhood thanks to Bugs Bunny cartoons and old Sinbad the Sailor movies so I was filled with both curosity and apprehension on the long bus ride from Alex to the Siwa oasis.
