Mining Process
The raw salt we mine in Siwa was deposited a very long time ago as a result of seawater evaporation. This layer of salt has been neglected for many years until we started to deal with it. The salt is covered by a thin layer of sand and by using a crawler excavator; we remove that thin layer of sand and get to the salt. This layer of salt extends from 3 meters in thickness to more than 6 meters in thickness in some areas. The extracted salt mainly comes white in appearance and we also use the excavators to wash the salt in its brine water to get the Salt white.
