The experience
Make the long journey west to Siwa for a three-day mix of oasis heritage, salt-lake scenery and a Great Sand Sea safari.
Leave Cairo or Giza early and travel via the agreed Marsa Matrouh stop before reaching the accommodation arranged for your stay. The first-day desert program follows the confirmed 4x4 route and arrival time, with sunset or spring stops where the schedule and access allow. A three-day Siwa journey involves considerable driving, so it is important to distinguish the travelling days from the time available in the oasis.
The central sightseeing day brings the Mountain of the Dead, the Oracle Temple area, Cleopatra’s Spring and Shali into the story, with the salt-lake visit and any traditional-house stop arranged in the final route. Water activities are optional and condition-dependent. The existing package proposes two accommodation nights, three breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners, listed drinks, safari and standard entries. The all-inclusive label applies only to that itemised plan: lodge identity, room sharing, pickup supplements and optional upgrades still need confirmation. Return to Cairo or Giza on day three after the agreed morning program.
