Escape to Siwa, one of Egypt's most remote and magical oases, on this 3-day journey into the Western Desert. Stay at a peaceful eco-lodge, float effortlessly in turquoise salt lakes with a private setup, and unwind in natural hot springs surrounded by the stillness of the desert.

Discover Siwa's ancient past with guided visits to the Mountain of the Dead, the salt-and-mud fortress town of Shali and the Oracle Temple of Amun, where Alexander the Great once came to consult the oracle. Then head deep into the Great Sand Sea by 4x4 for sandboarding, a golden desert sunset and a private dinner under the open sky.

Itinerary

Your Siwa adventure begins as you arrive in this remote oasis in Egypt's Western Desert. You'll be met and transferred to your eco-lodge to check in and settle in, followed by a relaxed breakfast as you take in the calm of the oasis.

Then head out to Siwa's famous salt lakes, where turquoise pools stretch across bright white salt flats. The water is so rich in salt that you float effortlessly, much like in the Dead Sea. A private setup is reserved just for you, so you can swim, float and unwind away from the crowds.

Continue to a designated hot spring camp and let the naturally warm water soothe you after your swim. Take your time to soak and enjoy the stillness of the desert.

End your day with a special dinner at Taziry Ecolodge, a memorable close to your first day in Siwa.

After breakfast at the lodge, set out with your guide to explore Siwa's rich history. Start at the Mountain of the Dead, a hillside of ancient rock-cut tombs, some still decorated with painted scenes. Continue to Shali Old Town, the oasis's 13th-century fortress town built from kershef, a traditional mix of salt and mud. Then visit the Oracle Temple of Amun, where Alexander the Great came to consult the famous oracle in 331 BC.

Enjoy lunch at Kenoz Shali Lodge, surrounded by peaceful palm gardens.

Then climb aboard a 4x4 for a thrilling safari into the Great Sand Sea, one of the largest dune fields on Earth. Watch the sun set over the golden dunes and try your hand at sandboarding down the slopes.

After sunset, a private dinner setup awaits you in the desert, an unforgettable meal under the open sky. Return to your eco-lodge for the night.
