Itinerary

Your tour begins early in the morning when our friendly and professional Cairo Top Tours guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo at around 6:00 AM to start your exciting Egypt Desert Safari Tour to Siwa Oasis. Your first stop is at El Alamein, where you’ll visit the World War II Cemeteries. These cemeteries, maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, honor the soldiers and civilians from Commonwealth countries who lost their lives during the war. You'll also visit the battlefield and gain valuable insight into this pivotal period of world history at the World War II Museum.

Afterward, you’ll head to the picturesque coastal town of Marsa Matrouh on Egypt’s Mediterranean shore. Here, you can enjoy a delicious seafood lunch by the sea and, if you wish, take a refreshing dip near the shore. Following lunch, continue your journey to Siwa Oasis, approximately a six-hour drive from El Alamein.

Upon arriving in Siwa, unwind with a soothing bath in the natural hot springs, surrounded by the peaceful desert environment, before settling in for the night at a charming Eco-lodge in the heart of the desert.

After breakfast, your Siwa Oasis Desert Safari continues with a visit to the ruins of Shali, a once-prosperous fortress city, now partially reduced to sand. Next, explore the Temple of Alexander the Great, also known as the Temple of the Oracle, located in the ancient village of Aghurmi. This historically significant site, dating back to the 26th Dynasty, played a key role in the region’s ancient history.

From there, head to the Temple of Amun Ra at Um Ubeyda, a triad temple dedicated to Amun. Afterward, visit the Siwa House Museum, where you'll gain insight into the traditional life and customs of the Bedouin people of Siwa.

Next, immerse yourself in the stunning beauty of the Great Sand Sea, one of Egypt’s most fascinating desert landscapes. Here, you’ll visit a serene, picturesque lake where flamingos can often be seen. You can take a dip in the tranquil waters and soak in the peaceful ambiance, making this a perfect spot for reflection and relaxation.

After your lake visit, relax at the Bir Wahid hot spring, where the 40°C waters provide soothing relief for your muscles and leave you feeling refreshed. End your day camping at the edge of the Great Sand Sea, where you’ll witness yet another magical sunset over the vast desert dunes.

While there, you will have the opportunity to explore the tomb believed to belong to Alexander the Great, adding a layer of mystery and historical intrigue to your tour.
