Date palm harvesting is aproaching in Siwa
For the next three months most of the people in Siwa will be harvesting the dates. The people of Siwa Oasis have been growing dates for 3,000 years. There are many varieties of Siwa dates. Three of the most important varieties are Siwi, Azzawi, and Frehi. But there are three more varieties which are produced in small quantities and are at risk of extinction: Ghazaal, Takdat, and Amnzou.
