4-Day Siwa Oasis Tour from Cairo – Tour Details
Egypt’s most remote oasis
Siwa lies in the Western Desert near the Libyan border, a long day’s drive from Cairo. It has its own Amazigh language and traditions, palm groves, salt lakes and springs, and the temple where Alexander the Great consulted the Oracle of Amun.
What you see
The ruined mud-brick town of Shali, the Temple of the Oracle at Aghurmi, the tombs of the Mountain of the Dead, Cleopatra’s Spring and sunset at Fatnas.
The Great Sand Sea
A 4×4 afternoon in the dunes of the Great Sand Sea, with a stop at a desert hot spring.
Good to know
The drive is around nine to ten hours each way, so days one and four are mostly travel. Hotels and eco-lodges are confirmed in your quote.
