SIWA:
Well of Abu Shuruf

Abu Shuruf is famous in Siwa for its fine pool as well as its many female donkeys. The pool is one of the most inviting in all of Siwa, few by the fiercest well of them all. Warm water gushes out of the ground not too far away from the oval pool.

Abu Shuruf, Siwa, Egypt

The female donkeys is another matter, and of course you will not notice this unless you know a bit about donkeys. It is supposed that the Siwan saying "Have you been to Abu Shuruf" is a question to a man if he has had sex.
