Tour Plan

Day 1: Cairo to Siwa Oasis Overland Transit & Sunset View

Early in the morning, meet your professional driver for a private transfer from your hotel in Cairo or Giza in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle. We travel north along the Mediterranean highway, stopping at the coastal city of Marsa Matruh for a fresh local lunch. From there, we cut south deep into the Western Desert toward the isolated Siwa Oasis. Upon arrival in the late afternoon, check into your traditional, premium oasis eco-lodge. We close your first evening driving to Fatnas Island to enjoy a spectacular, panoramic sunset over the expansive salt lakes while sipping traditional Siwan herbal tea. Overnight in Siwa.

Day 2: Historic Siwa Cultural Exploration & Hyper-Saline Salt Lakes

Savor a fresh oasis breakfast before embarking on a comprehensive tour of Siwa’s ancient cultural heritage. Visit the rock-cut ancient tombs at the Mountain of the Dead (Gabal El Maouta), the historic Temple of the Oracle where Alexander the Great was declared a god, and walk through the atmospheric mud-brick ruins of the 13th-century Shali Fortress. After a delicious traditional lunch, experience the highlight of the tour: floating effortlessly in the turquoise, therapeutic Siwa Salt Lakes, where the high salt concentration keeps you perfectly buoyant. Wash off the salt with a refreshing swim in the famous natural hot spring of Cleopatra’s Pool. Return to the hotel for dinner and overnight.

Day 3: Great Sand Sea 4x4 Jeep Safari & Sandboarding Adventure

Enjoy breakfast at your eco-lodge. Spend the morning at your leisure exploring the local town or shopping for authentic crafts. In the afternoon, board our rugged, professional 4x4 Jeep safari vehicle to conquer the massive, rolling dunes of the Great Sand Sea. Feel the adrenaline as our expert desert driver navigates the sand crests, stopping for an exciting sandboarding session down the dunes. We visit a hidden cold spring in the middle of the deep desert for a refreshing swim, followed by a hot sulfur spring to relax your muscles. Savor a traditional campfire dinner and Bedouin tea as you watch the desert sunset, before returning to the hotel for overnight.

Day 4: Morning Shopping & Private Highway Return to Cairo

Wake up to a peaceful oasis morning and enjoy your final breakfast. Before checking out, enjoy a brief walking tour through the vibrant local market of Siwa Oasis to shop for organic dates, pure olive oil, premium herbal teas, and beautiful hand-carved Himalayan salt lamps. Finally, board your private air-conditioned vehicle for the comfortable overland drive back through the desert and coastal highways. Arrive back at your hotel or Cairo International Airport in the late afternoon, successfully concluding your epic 4-day Siwa nature safari.
