The tour then continues to Salina Calcara in Nubia, where the guide explains the four levels of salt tanks used to transform sea water into salt and points out local birds such as flamingos, herons, and egrets. The final stop is the Culcasi salt pan, where visitors enter a 600-year-old mill that now serves as a salt museum.
