Map

  • The journey takes approximately 8 hours each way through the Western Desert. We break the trip with rest stops and interesting viewpoints.

  • Bring swimwear, waterproof shoes (the salt crystals can be sharp), and moisturizer for after your swim. The high salt content is very drying to skin.

  • You'll stay in traditional Siwan eco-lodges or comfortable hotels that reflect the local architecture and culture while providing modern comforts.

  • The long drive and desert activities may be challenging for very young children or those with mobility issues. Please contact us to discuss specific needs.

  • Siwa offers a unique blend of Berber culture, ancient history, and stunning natural beauty that's completely different from the Nile Valley and Red Sea destinations.
