Overview
Travel far off the beaten path to the enchanting Siwa Oasis on this private 4-day package, deep in Egypt’s Western Desert near the Libyan border. Famous for its palm groves, freshwater springs, ancient ruins and the vast Great Sand Sea, Siwa offers a unique blend of nature, history and Berber culture found nowhere else in Egypt. Note: a 4-day / 3-night itinerary is recommended due to the long desert journey; a 5-day pace can be arranged for a more relaxed trip.

- The Temple of the Oracle of Amun
- Shali Fortress and the old town of Siwa
- Cleopatra's Spring
- A Great Sand Sea desert safari and sandboarding
- Hot and cold desert springs
