Siwa Oasis
Haplogroup U5 is also found in modern day Berbers from the Siwa Oasis in Egypt. A 2008 article by C. Coudray, The complex and diversified mitochondrial gene pool of Berber populations, recorded haplogroup U5 at 16.7% for the Siwa whereas haplogroup U6 is more common in other Berber populations to the west of Egypt.
