Hi Mona,
Greetings from Siwa Oasis! We arrived on Friday and stayed in a small hotel with a garden. In the morning we ride bicycles between the palm trees. At lunchtime we swim in a spring. In the evening it is cool and we sit under the stars. The people are friendly and the food is delicious. See you in July!
Omar
