4-Days Trip to Siwa Oasis from Cairo

In the morning and after having breakfast at the ecolodge, we will start our excursion of the day with a visit to

Old Shali Castle: It is considered one of the most important monuments in the region; even the word “Shali” in the Amazigh dialect means “fortified city.” The castle was built by forty men from the people of the oasis nd was built on top of a giant one-story rrock efore other floors were added to it, up to five, as well as the construction of a large wall surrounding the building; as for the material of the castle The village of Shali was built entirely out of kerchief, which is a mixture of salt, clay, palm supports, and olive trees, and this mixture, when dry, was very hard and difficult to destroy and collapse, and building with this material gave the dwellings warmth in winter and moisture.

The Temple of Revelation, also known as the Temple of Amun, is one of the most significant archaeological sites in Siwa Oasis. It was founded by King Ahmose II during the 26th Dynasty and is significant because it served as the landing site for the idol Amun's revelation and was a temple of prophesy and divine revelation.The temple is associated with many stories, the most famous and important of which is the story of Cambyses' lost army, which was sent by the Persian King Cambyses in 525 BC. According to reports, the temple was visited by Alexander the Great around 331 BC. The visit of Alexander the Great to the Siwa oasis is also linked to the temple.

The Mountain of the Dead: It was the main necropolis of the oasis of Siwa during Antiquity. The oldest tombs date back to the XXVI dynasty, and the burials continued until the late Roman (Byzantine) period. The Mountain of the Dead owes its importance to its colorful tombs, among which four tombs stand out: the tomb of Ba Thoth, the tomb of Misu Isis, Se Amun's tomb, which is the most exquisite in the Western Desert, and the Crocodile's tomb both feature full sceneries that capture the ancient Egyptian belief in immortality and resurrection.

After that, you will enjoy a relaxing afternoon at Cleopatra Spring, swimming and diving in the crystal clear waters, after which you will be transferred to Fitnas Island to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime sunset view.

On the morning of the third day, after breakfast, we will start our magical adventure through the heart of the Western Desert, where you can travel to the depths of unspoiled nature in one of the world's most stunning desert regions—the Great Sand Sea in Siwa, a huge dune region made up of three sand seas— in the southwest of the Western Desert that runs along the Egyptian-Libyan border between the Great Gulf and Siwa Oasis, a soft dune area with a width of 200 kilometers. It is roughly 650–500 kilometers long from north to south and 350–160 kilometers wide from east to west. The Great Sea of Sand is situated between the Siwa Oasis and Jaghbubub in the north and the Great Gulf Plateau in the south.
