Galo Flordelis (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "Siwa: The Oasis of Jupiter Ammon" by Sir Charles Dalrymple Belgrave is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the little-known oasis of Siwa in the Libyan Desert, detailing its geography, history, and the unique customs of its inhabitants. Through the author's experiences as an official stationed there, the narrative captures the essence of life in Siwa, focusing on its historical significance, its connection to ancient civilizations, and the everyday lives of its people who are of Berber descent rather than Arab. At the start of the book, the author introduces Siwa, a secluded oasis surrounded by the Libyan Desert, highlighting its isolation and the Berber culture that persists there, despite the region's gradual decline in population. He outlines the accessibility issues to the oasis, emphasizing the rigorous journeys required to reach it by different means, including car and camel caravan. The narrative is imbued with rich descriptions of the landscape and the historical allure of Siwa, touching on its connections to past civilizations like the Greeks and Romans, and setting the stage for deeper explorations into the oasis's history and the daily lives of its diverse residents.
