Siwa Oasis Cultural & Desert Explorer Private Tour
Overview
Uncover Siwa Oasis's ancient mysteries, therapeutic salt lakes, and thrilling desert safaris on a private 2-day tour.
This 2-day private tour is a compact escape to Siwa Oasis, the remote desert town near Egypt's border with Libya, pairing ancient ruins with a night of desert camping.
Day one covers the Oracle Temple of Amun and the Mountain of the Dead necropolis, the mud-brick ruins of Shali Fortress, and a stop at Cleopatra Spring. Day two heads into the Great Sand Sea for a 4x4 desert safari and sandboarding down the dunes, followed by a soak in a natural hot spring and time floating in Siwa's salt lakes before departure.
The pace is unhurried but active: ancient temple and necropolis in the morning, dune driving and water in the afternoon, with a night under the stars in between.
- Private air-conditioned 4x4 for all transfers and the desert safari
- Licensed English-speaking guide throughout
- One night's full-board accommodation in a desert camp
- Entrance fees to the sites on the itinerary, plus sandboarding equipment
International and domestic flights, visa fees, personal expenses, tips for guides and camp staff, and any meals or drinks not specified are not included. It suits travelers who already have a flight or road connection to Siwa and want a short, focused mix of history and desert adventure rather than a full oasis circuit.
