Tour Overview
The Siwa Expedition: Desert Wonders & Ancient Secrets Answer the call of the desert. This adventure seamlessly blends 20th-century history at El Alamein with the ancient mysteries of the sublime Siwa Oasis. We've crafted an itinerary for the curious explorer, designed to uncover the very best of this remote sanctuary. Your discovery includes the oracle that counseled kings, mountain tombs etched with history, and the iconic ruins of the Shali Fortress. You'll swim in legendary springs and float in serene salt lakes. The pinnacle of the experience is a safari into the breathtaking Great Sand Sea, where you'll spend a night camping in the heart of the dunes. From the healing waters of Bir Wahed to the silence of the star-filled desert night, this expedition offers the perfect balance of cultural immersion and raw, natural adventure.

Itinerary
Early in the morning, at about 06:0, we will head to Siwa Oasis. On the way, we will stop by El-Alamein to visit the WW II cemetery and Museum, and then proceed to Siwa, arrive in Siwa, and check into your hotel. The rest of the day is free at your leisure. Overnight stay at your hotel.
After breakfast, we visit the Mountain of the Dead (Gebel al-Mawta), which features a large number of tombs carved into the mountain that are dating back to the the 26th Dynasty (664 BC–525 BC) and the Ptolemaic era (305 BC–30 BC), Cleopatra’s Pool, a swimming pool fed by a natural hot spring, the Temple of the Oracle, and finish with Bir Wahed, a sulfurous spring outside Siwa. For the night, we camp out in the desert on the shores of the Great Sand Sea.
After cruising around the Great Sand Sea, we return to Siwa Oasis to visit the ruins of the historic Shali fortress. In the afternoon, we can swim at the salt lake and then stay overnight at your hotel.
After breakfast, we return to Cairo, arriving at approximately 5 pm, and then transfer you to your chosen drop-off point.
