Kershef is a traditional building technique using mud, sand and sun-dried salt – materials you can find in abundance in the Siwa Oasis.
We were kindly invited to visit Andrea’s house in Siwa, a refurbished kershef house in Siwa Shali, blending harmoniously in with the surrounding environment and climate. The kershef acts as a natural insulator, and gives a soothing and rich texture to the walls. Timber of olive tree reinforces the walls and roofs.
In recent years the art of kershef has been disappearing as builders increasingly use cement. While cheaper for building, this construction method is inappropriate to such a desert climate: it conducts hot and cold extremes rather than insulating against them, requiring wasteful electric-powered air conditioning to temper its effects.

Driving towards East Sahara the morning rain distracted our driver. Midway between Alexandria and Marsa Matrouh the car hit a pool of water in 150 km/h, jumped the median, crossed the opposite lane and ended up in the desert.
Unbelievably we were all without a scratch. The gap in the safety fench saved us all.
After a while a local with a pick up van and a loud Alpha Blondy track came to our rescue, and got us to the nearest roadside café. Reggae music has never sounded so comforting:
