Itinerary

1

Leave Cairo and start the journey towards Siwa Oasis in Egypt’s Western Desert. It’s a long drive, but the scenery changes as you get farther away from the city. You’ll travel through desert landscapes and along parts of the northern coast before reaching Siwa. This Siwa Desert Safari Egypt Tour offers a chance to experience a completely different side of Egypt.

Once you arrive, check in at your hotel and take some time to rest after the journey. Later in the evening, you can take a walk around the oasis or simply relax and enjoy the quiet atmosphere. Siwa has a very different feel from Cairo, with palm trees, natural springs, and a much slower pace of life. This is a peaceful start to your Siwa Oasis Desert Safari.

Overnight in Siwa.

Eat breakfast first, then get ready to spend the day in the Great Sand Sea. This Siwa Desert Safari takes you deep into the desert.

You will travel into the desert in a 4x4. The ride goes over wide, golden sand dunes. You will stop at several places to look around. There will be chances to take photos and just enjoy the views.

At one point you will reach Bir Wahed. It is a hot spring set right in the sand landscape. You can sit, unwind, and feel what it is like to find warm water in the desert.

Later, you will stop at a spring with cold water. It is a nice change and helps you cool off during the tour.

Lunch will be served while you are still in the desert.

In the late afternoon, you will move to a place with a view. You will watch the sun drop behind the dunes. After the sunset, you will drive back to Siwa. Then you will return to your hotel for the night. This Siwa Oasis Desert Safari is an important part of your Siwa Desert Safari 5 Days experience.

After breakfast, head out and spend the day around Siwa. Try to see the main sights people talk about as part of your Siwa Oasis Desert Safari.

First stop is Shali Fortress. It is the old town ruins. Walk the small lanes there. You will notice the mud-brick walls and feel how the oasis life used to work. It also helps to hear the simple history behind the place.

Then go to Cleopatra’s Spring. It is one of the best known springs in Siwa. The spot sits among palm trees. There are also nearby cafés. It is a good place to rest for a bit during your Siwa Desert Safari.

Next, move on to the Salt Lakes. The water looks bright turquoise. It also has a lot of salt. You can swim if you want, then sit back and relax. Bring your camera too, since the views are great.

After that, you will travel to Gabal El Dakrour. You can eat lunch at a local restaurant first. The mountain gives big views over Siwa and the desert around it. On a clear day, the scenery looks even better. This Siwa Desert Safari 4 Nights offers a chance to enjoy Siwa’s natural landscapes.
