So often, your photos gave the impression
that you two were the only people to be seen.
This one shows more and is another lovely
glimpse. Thanks, too, for the info on
the health benefits. What a fantastic place.

Kindest thanks Martha and Mostafa.
Mostafa, the water in the natural wells, is good for skin and liver (the mud is used for beauty treatments). We ate food cooked under the ground surface in special pots. :)

*water turns different colours due to the minerals in them*
Iron turns it orange
Sulphur turns - yellow
Copper turns - green.
Silicone is a very important mineral that is found in it.
