Siwa Oasis, home to the Siwi people
The Siwi people or Siwan people (in tamazight : Isiwan) also known as the Oasis Berbers, are a Berber ethnic group native to Egypt's Siwa and Qara oases. They speak the Siwa language, a Berber language. The Siwi are the most distant concentration of Berbers from their historical homeland in the Maghreb that is still in existence today.[1]
