Experience authentic life through gardening and community interaction in Siwa Oasis, Egypt

Details

• 

  Description

  I’ve been living in Siwa Oasis for almost eight years. Over the years, I’ve become deeply connected to Siwi culture and the local community. I’ve built a home and a farm, raised animals, contributed to the local community, and hosted a few musical and cultural events.
  
  These days, I’m looking for a little help cultivating the farm and experimenting with planting new crops. Life here is always a mix of learning, working with the land, meeting people, and experiencing the authentic side of Siwa.
  
  It’s simple, hands-on, and always an adventure around here.

  What's this?
• 

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  The work is mainly outdoors and connected to the land — collecting and sorting the harvest, planting new seeds, taking care of the existing plants and trees, and experimenting with new ways to improve what we’re already growing. There’s always something happening on the farm, so you’ll get to be involved in the process rather than just doing the same task every day.
  
  It’s a simple, authentic experience: good work, good food, lots of nature, and hopefully some good memories along the way. 🌴🌱

  Accommodation

  You’ll have your own room in a beautiful, well-designed two-floor villa right on the farm, so you won’t need any transportation to get to and from the farm.
  
  The house is comfortable and thoughtfully built, surrounded by the farm and nature. You’ll be sharing the villa with me and possibly other people staying or helping on the farm, so it’s also a nice chance to meet, cook, relax, and share the experience together.
  
  I can provide food and supplies for them to cook their own meals and some days i can happily share a meal with them
