The melted Siwa's village of Shali

Today I walked at the Siwa’s Shali Village which is under restoration.
It never rains in Siwa, but the Shali’s melted appearance is due to a three-day rainstorm in 1926 that caused many of the buildings in the Shali to collapse.
The damaged houses are made from the traditional building material named "Kershif", or salt mud with split palm-trunk roofs and earthern floors.
The ambitious European Union-funded conservation project of Shali village, located at the heart of the oasis, is set to be completed in 2020 . It aims at not only reviving the local economy of the site but also setting the location as a eco-tourism destination.
