Siwa Oasis Tour — 3 Days, Safari & Camp

Three days from Cairo to one of Egypt’s most remote oases: a stop at the El Alamein WWII museum on the long drive west, a sunset swim at Fatnas Island, the ruins of the Mountain of the Dead and the Oracle Temple that Alexander the Great once visited, a 4WD run across the Great Sand Sea with sandboarding and a swim in the salt lakes and Cleopatra’s Spring, a Bedouin dinner under the stars, and a last morning in the old mudbrick town of Shali and Siwa’s market.
