Siwa Oasis — Multi-Day from Cairo

Przegląd

Far out in the Western Desert, almost on the Libyan border, Siwa is Egypt's most remote and magical oasis — a world of date palms, salt lakes and its own Amazigh (Berber) culture, reached on this three-day journey from Cairo. The long drive west via the Mediterranean coast is part of the adventure, delivering you into a landscape utterly unlike the Nile Valley. In Siwa town you climb the melting mudbrick maze of the Shali Fortress and visit the Oracle Temple of Amun, where Alexander the Great is said to have come to consult the oracle and be named a son of the gods. You float effortlessly in the mineral-heavy salt lakes, so buoyant you cannot sink, and swim in the palm-shaded pool of Cleopatra's Spring. From the Mountain of the Dead's rock-cut tombs you look out over the whole green basin. The highlight for many is a 4x4 safari into the Great Sand Sea, plunging over towering dunes to reach a freshwater hot spring and a sunset that sets the whole desert ablaze. Nights are spent in Siwa's mudbrick eco-lodges under brilliant stars. With transfers, guiding and the desert safari arranged, it is an immersive escape into one of the last truly off-the-map corners of Egypt.
