Escape to the Tranquility of Siwa Oasis
Hidden deep in the Western Desert, the Siwa Oasis remains one of Egypt’s most mysterious and beautiful destinations. Known for its unique Siwi Berber culture, thousands of olive and palm trees, and natural salt lakes, it’s a world away from the hustle of Cairo. Our Siwa Oasis tours are designed for those seeking a mix of deep relaxation and adventurous exploration.
From the ancient ruins of the Fortress of Shali to the legendary Temple of the Oracle (where Alexander the Great was proclaimed a Pharoah), our guides will help you uncover the rich history of this remote sanctuary.
Highlights of a Siwa Oasis Adventure
A trip to Siwa is incomplete without experiencing its natural wonders. You’ll have the chance to swim in Cleopatra’s Bath, a natural spring where the queen herself is said to have bathed. As the sun sets, we take you to Fatnas Island for the most breathtaking views over the salt lakes.
