Siwa Oasis 4-Day Desert & History Tour

Tour Description

Journey to Siwa Oasis, a remote corner of Egypt's Western Desert, known for its distinctive traditions and local crafts, on a four-day tour combining history, natural springs, and desert landscapes.

Explore the medieval mud-brick Shali Fortress and visit the Temple of the Oracle of Amun, where Alexander the Great is believed to have consulted the oracle. Discover the rock-cut tombs of the Mountain of the Dead, relax at Cleopatra's Spring, float in the naturally buoyant waters of Siwa's salt lakes, and watch the sunset from Fatnas Island.

Then venture into the Great Sand Sea by 4x4 for a day of dune driving and sandboarding. Visit Bir Wahed, where a hot spring and a cold lake sit side by side in the middle of the desert, and end the day with a barbecue dinner as the sun sets over the dunes.

Before you leave, browse the local markets for dates, olive oil, and salt products, and learn about Siwan traditions at the Siwa House Museum.

With ecolodge accommodation and an expert guide included, this tour brings together Siwa's history, culture, and desert adventure in four memorable days.
