Exploring the Mystique of Siwa: Dr. Rasha Samir Discusses The Enchante

“Al-Mashoura” (The Enchanted).

The novel is set in the Siwa Oasis and explores the lives of its diverse
tribes, including the indigenous Siwans and the Amazigh people. At the
heart of the story lies the mysterious “Zerzura Oasis” — is it a
real place or a product of legend? Is the lost treasure fact or fiction,
and could the search for it lead to one’s demise? The novel dives deep
into the customs, traditions, and way of life in Siwa, which the author
vividly and skillfully brings to life for the reader.

The event was honored by the presence of Mrs. Siham El-Gohary, the
founder of the Inner Wheel Club of Nasr City and former National
Representative, along with Book Club members, members of both hosting
clubs, and their guests.

talented daughter, a gifted graphic designer.
