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.
