Siwa Salt – salt from the Siwa oasis in the heart of the Sahara
The Siwa Oasis in western Egypt is one of the most unique salt springs in the world. Natural salt lakes provide salt with unique parameters for European customers.
Oaza Siwa – a unique salt ecosystem
The Siwa Oasis, located on the western edge of the Egyptian desert, is home to several natural salt lakes. Extreme climatic conditions - intense sunlight and minimal rainfall - cause water to evaporate solely through solar radiation, leaving highly concentrated salt of natural purity.
Properties of Siwa Salt
- High purity NaCl – natural evaporation without additional chemical processes.
- Low level of magnesium and sulfate admixtures – an important parameter for technical recipients.
- Natural crystalline structure – regular crystals facilitating sieving to the desired granulation.
- Solar production – minimal energy and environmental costs.
Siwa Salt in Europe
Salt from the Siwa oasis reaches Europe through Mediterranean ports - most often Port Said or Alexandria. Container or bulk carrier transport allows deliveries from several dozen to several thousand tons in one batch.
