Tour Plan

Day 1: Cairo to Siwa Oasis

We start our premium 5 Days Siwa Oasis and White Desert Tour early in the morning. Our private air-conditioned vehicle picks you up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza, driving along the Mediterranean coast towards Siwa Oasis. We stop by the coastal city of Marsa Matruh to enjoy a fresh lunch before continuing our drive deep into the Western Desert. Upon arrival in Siwa Oasis by the end of the day, check into your hotel, enjoy a traditional dinner, and rest for the night.

Day 2: Exploring Siwa Oasis Wonders

After a fresh breakfast, we begin a full day of sightseeing in Siwa Oasis. We visit the historic Mountain of the Dead, the ancient Temple of the Oracle (Alexander the Great Temple), and take a refreshing dip in Cleopatra's Spring. After lunch, we drive to visit El Dakrour Mountain and float effortlessly in the therapeutic, hyper-saline Siwa Salt Lakes. In the evening, we visit the traditional local market to shop for organic dates and premium olive products before dinner and overnight at the hotel.

Day 3: Siwa to Bahariya Oasis

Wake up for an early breakfast at the hotel as we prepare to cross the desert route. We board our private vehicle and head back towards Marsa Matruh, continuing our journey along the desert road to Bahariya Oasis. A relaxing lunch is provided on the way. We arrive at Bahariya Oasis by the end of the day, check into our desert hotel, enjoy dinner, and rest to prepare for tomorrow's 4x4 jeep safari adventure.

Day 4: Black Desert, White Desert & Magic Camping

After breakfast, our rugged 4x4 jeep will be ready to start the safari adventure. We explore the volcanic peaks of the Black Desert and climb El-Marsous Mountain for a panoramic view. Next, we visit El-Hez Village to see the Cold Spring, follow by a stop at the sparkling Crystal Mountain. We drive into the dramatic Agabat Valley and cross the sand dunes to reach the Green Spring for a fresh lunch near the Roman ruins. In the afternoon, we explore the surreal limestone formations of the New White Desert and Mushroom Rock. At sunset, we set up our wild camp, enjoy a fresh Bedouin campfire dinner, and spend a magical night sleeping under the stars.

Day 5: Return to Cairo

Wake up to a spectacular desert sunrise followed by a fresh camp breakfast. We pack up our camp and drive our 4x4 jeep back to Bahariya Oasis. Upon arrival, you can have a refreshing shower and rest at our base before boarding the private air-conditioned transportation back to Cairo. Arrive back at your Cairo or Giza hotel in the afternoon, depending on traffic conditions.
