Tours of the Siwa Oasis Desert departing from Cairo

Following breakfast and check-out, you will resume your tour of Siwa Oasis from Cairo. Your tour guide will accompany you to the "Gabal al Maouta," or Mountain of the Dead, which is situated 1 km outside of Siwa and is home to numerous ancient tombs belonging to the dynasty that ruled Siwa Oasis during the 26th century, The tombs are shaped like a beehive and the mountain has a limestone floor. Among the noteworthy tombs that are worth seeing are those of Niperpathot, Si-Amon, Mesu Isis, and the Crocodile Tomb.

After that, you will embark on a tour of the amazing locations in and around Siwa, beginning at the Alexander the Great or Oracle Temple. It was constructed on Aghurmi's plateau.

Beautiful carvings and drawings chronicling the temple's history can be seen on its ruins, along with a depiction of the god Amun Ra. Alexander the Great is rumored to have stayed at the temple, which makes it noteworthy. After learning about Siwan's unique culture at the Siwa House Museum, have lunch at the renowned Abdo restaurant in the Oasis's famous square with a view of Shali.

After that, we'll visit Cleopatra Spring, also called "Ein Guba," a naturally occurring stone pool heated by a hot spring that is rumored to be the spot where the Queen of Egypt swam when she was visiting Siwa.

After that, you'll embark on an Egypt Desert Safari adventure to explore the Great Sand Sea. Travel in a Jeep 4x4 (Jeep Land Cruiser safari) to see the hot and cold springs at Bir Wahid, Sip Bedouin tea, and enjoy the stunning desert sunset. The world's best dune surfing is available in the massive sand sea of Siwa. After that, a driver will take you to your overnight hotel.

Spend the night in Siwa.

This final visit will mark the end of your Siwa trip after breakfast. Our guide will accompany you to Shali, the "ancient city" of Siwa, which dates back to the thirteenth century. As a stronghold in the center of Siwa, it was constructed behind a wall of defense that was once breached by a single gate to keep out tribal attacks on the city.

Then you will reach the hidden gems of Siwa Salt Lakes. You float because the saltwater lifts you above the surface. To take part, you don't need to be a strong swimmer. Lakes provide their own unique pleasures and health benefits. When it comes to eye, skin, and sinus infections, salt pools are very helpful.

On the final day of your Siwa Oasis tour package, you'll have another organic breakfast at the Eco-lodge before being driven back to your Cairo hotel by your own driver and a qualified Egyptologist guide. The drive will take about eight or nine hours, including a break. We hope your tour of the Siwa Oasis from Cairo was enjoyable.
