You can see more of the traditionally built structures including the beautiful mosque in old Shali at http://mindseyewritingandphotography.wordpress.com/siwa-oasis-photos-2/
and an eco resort inspired by this way of building at http://mindseyewritingandphotography.wordpress.com/siwa-adrere-amellal-photographs/
these buildings are definitely better adapted to the climate than more recent constructions, although they do suffer problems with water and insect erosion.
thank you for featuring Siwa in Green Prophet.
