There are many theories about the origins of the unique Great Sand Sea glass you can hear more about them and get the chance to see them when you travel from Cairo to Siwa Oasis.

A polished piece of glass was centered in an elaborate piece of jewelry found in King Tutankhamun’s tomb. Since these times, the glass has remained untouched because of the harshness and inaccessibility of the region.
