6 Days Siwa Oasis Adventure

AvailabilityEvery day

Tour Overview

Siwa sits close to the Libyan border, a long day’s drive from Cairo, and that distance is exactly why it feels so different. We take the coast road along the Mediterranean, then turn south into the desert until the palm groves appear. In Siwa you climb the mud-brick ruins of Shali, visit the Oracle Temple that Alexander the Great came to consult and float in the salt lakes at sunset.

One full day belongs to the Great Sand Sea: our 4x4 climbs the dunes, stops at a hot spring in the middle of the sand and ends with sunset over the desert.

Tour Highlights

Siwa Oasis

Salt lakes, date palms and the mud-brick fortress of Shali near the Libyan border – a world apart, with the Oracle Temple that Alexander the Great once visited.

Giza Pyramids Complex

The last standing wonder of the ancient world sits on a desert plateau a few minutes from our hotel. Your Egyptologist explains how three generations of kings turned limestone into eternity, and where to stand for the classic panorama.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a visa for Egypt?

Most nationalities can buy a 30-day visa on arrival at Cairo airport for US$25, or apply online for an e-visa before travelling. Our representative meets you before passport control and helps with the process.

When is the best time to visit Egypt?

October to April is the most comfortable season for sightseeing, with sunny days around 20–28°C. Summer is hot in Luxor and Aswan but perfect for the Red Sea, and we adjust touring hours to early mornings.

Are your tours private?

Yes. Unless a tour is marked as a small-group departure, you travel only with your own party, with a private guide and air-conditioned vehicle.

Can I change an itinerary?

Every itinerary is a starting point. Add days, swap hotels, include a balloon ride or a beach stay – tell us what you would like and we will send an updated plan and price.

How do I book and pay?

Send a booking request from any tour page. We confirm availability and the final price by email or WhatsApp. Nothing is charged until you have approved the plan.
