Despite its partial decay, ongoing reconstruction efforts highlight its historical significance.

Next, you’ll visit the Temple of the Oracle, also known as Alexander the Great's Temple, located in the ancient village of Aghurmi. This temple dates back to the 26th Dynasty and played a crucial role in ancient Egyptian history.

Your journey continues with a visit to the Temple of Amun Ra at Um Ubeyda, a sacred site dedicated to the triad of gods, including Amun. Following this, you’ll step into the Siwa House Museum, which offers an insightful glimpse into the rich culture and traditions of the Bedouin people of Siwa.

Thrill-seekers will love the next stop—sandboarding on the towering dunes of the Great Sand Sea. While it may not be as fast-paced as snowboarding, the exhilarating rush of gliding down the soft, golden sands offers a unique thrill. With the right amount of wax, you'll sail smoothly down the dunes, adding an extra layer of excitement to your adventure.

After the adrenaline rush, unwind with a soothing dip in the hot spring waters of Bir Wahid, where the calming 40°C temperature will ease your muscles and refresh your spirit.

These ancient sites offer a fascinating glimpse into Siwa’s rich history and its deep connections to ancient Egypt.

Next, you’ll journey to the Bedouin village of Abu Ali, where you can immerse yourself in the traditional Bedouin way of life.
