4 Day tour of Siwa Oasis Desert from Cairo

After breakfast and check-out, you will continue your tour of the Siwa Oasis from Cairo. Your tour guide will accompany you to the Mountain of the Dead ("Gabal al Maouta"), which is 1 km outside of Siwa and is home to numerous ancient tombs of the Siwa Oasis's twenty-sixth dynasty rulers. The tombs are shaped like a beehive and are carved into the limestone rock. Among the noteworthy tombs worth visiting are those at Niperpathot, Si-Amon, Mesu Isis, and the Crocodile Tomb.

After that, you'll go on a tour of the fascinating places in and around Siwa, beginning with either the Oracle Temple or the Alexander the Great Temple. It was erected on the Aghurmi plateau, which is located about 4 kilometers to the east of Siwa City

Today, the temple's ruins are home to magnificent carvings and drawings that depict the temple's history and the divinity Amun Ra. Alexander the Great is rumored to have stayed at the temple, which makes it noteworthy. After learning more about Siwan's distinctive culture at the Siwa House Museum, have lunch at the renowned Abdo restaurant that has a view of Shali in the Oasis.

The Egyptian Queen is rumored to have swum in Cleopatra Spring, also known as "Ein Guba," a natural stone pool fed by a hot spring during her visit to Siwa. After a hot day of sightseeing, you can now cool off in the pool while also sipping on some coffee, tea, or one of their fresh juices.

Then you will go on and start the Egypt Desert Safari adventure exploring the Great Sand Sea. Visit the hot and cold springs of Bir Wahid by Jeep 4×4 (Jeep Land Cruiser safari). Watch the beautiful desert sunset while sipping Bedouin tea. The huge sand sea of Siwa offers the best dune surfing in the world. Then you will be driven to your hotel for the night.

Overnight in Siwa.

Your tour to Siwa will come to a conclusion with this final stop after breakfast. Our guide will go with you to Shali, the "ancient city" of Siwa that was established in the 13th century. In order to act as a stronghold in the center of Siwa and defend the city from tribal raids, it was constructed on a hill behind a protective wall that was initially breached by a single gate.

 You will then arrive at the Siwa Salt Lakes, which are hidden gems. The saltwater lifts you above the surface, making you float. You don't have to be a strong swimmer to participate. Lakes offer their own set of health benefits and pleasures. Salt pools are very beneficial for sinus, skin, and eye infections.

Then our Cairo Top Tours guide will transfer you back to your hotel in Cairo, which takes around 8-9 hours to drive including a break. We hope you enjoyed your Siwa Oasis tour from Cairo.

On the final day of your Siwa Oasis tour, you'll enjoy another organic breakfast at the Eco-lodge before being driven back to your Cairo hotel by your own personal driver and expert Egyptologist guide. The trip back takes about 8 to 9 hours, including a break. We hope that your Siwa Oasis excursion from Cairo was enjoyable.
