Overview
Siwa Oasis; the pure haven in Egypt’s Western desert. Due to its remote location, Siwa was able to preserve its unique culture & have its nature relatively untouched, which makes it one of the most special destinations in Egypt! From its fresh Salt lakes & hot springs to its palm trees, stunning sunsets & giant sand dunes, Siwa definitely has something for everyone.
Day 1
Departure from Cairo is on the night before in our private business class bus; we’ll have two meeting points, one in New Cairo & one in 6th of October. We’ll arrive at Siwa around 9 am.
Our first stop is breakfast at a local lodge overlooking the city. After a 1 hour free slot roaming around Siwa city, we’ll head to our accommodation for check-in and rest for a while.
We’ll witness the first Siwa sunset by the stunning El Meraki Lake. Afterwards we’ll have dinner at the lodge. We end our first day at hot springs for a relaxing experience after a long day.
Day 2
After breakfast, we kick off our tour by visiting Shali fortress, while knowing more about its interesting history. We then head to the Salt Lakes that make Siwa extra special for a refreshing “float”.
We’ll head back to our lodge for a pool dip. At night we’ll head to a local restaurant for dinner.
Then we’ll have a tour of the city, where we’ll go for an optional bike ride. We’ll also have time to shop for famous Siwa souvenirs and delicious local products.
Day 3
We start our long day with a healthy breakfast. The first part of the day is dedicated to Siwa’s historical landmarks!
