Tour Plan

Day 1: Cairo to Siwa Oasis & Local Market

We start our private Siwa Oasis Tour from Cairo early in the morning. Our professional driver picks you up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. As we drive toward the oasis, we stop by the coastal city of Marsa Matruh to enjoy a delicious local lunch and stretch our legs. We then resume driving deep into the Western Desert, arriving at the lush paradise of Siwa by the end of the day. After checking into your hotel and enjoying a fresh dinner, we take a free walking tour around the traditional oasis market. Here, you can experience the local vibe and see Siwa's world-famous organic dates and premium olive products before returning to the hotel for an overnight stay.

Day 2: Exploring Siwa Oasis & Salt Lakes Experience

After breakfast at the hotel, we begin an exciting full day exploring the historic and natural wonders of Siwa Oasis. Our first stops are the ancient mud-brick ruins of the Old Shali Fortress, the fascinating tombs at the Mountain of the Dead, and the legendary Temple of the Oracle, famously visited by Alexander the Great. We then take a refreshing break at Cleopatra's Spring, where you can swim in natural, crystal-clear waters. After a delicious local lunch, we drive to visit the unique El Dakrour Mountain and the breathtaking Siwa Salt Lakes, where the high salt concentration lets you float effortlessly on the surface. We end this perfect day by watching a magical sunset from a stunning panoramic viewpoint, followed by a visit to traditional handicraft bazaars for souvenirs, dinner, and overnight at the hotel.

Day 3: Return to Cairo

Wake up to a peaceful oasis morning. After enjoying your breakfast at the hotel, we check out and prepare for our return drive back to Cairo. To ensure a comfortable and non-stop journey, a fresh lunch box is provided for you to enjoy on the way. We drive back along the desert and coastal routes, arriving back at your hotel in Cairo or Giza in the evening, depending on the local traffic conditions.
