Korean female tourist holding large salt crystals beside one of the beautiful salt pools around the Siwa Oasis in Egypt.

Pictured is a female Korean tourist holding two large salt crystals beside one of the beautiful salt pools around the Siwa Oasis in Egypt. Her purple swimsuit makes a perfect contrasting background. Years ago salt mining operations created the salt lakes and pools. The water is so salty no marine life can survive in it, and so dense it is very easy to float. The Siwa Oasis is one of Egypt`s most isolated settlements, with about 33,000 people, mostly Berbers. The oasis is known to have been settled since at least the 10th millenium BC.
