Would do it again - It was beyond excellent. The rep picked us from home and dropped us at the bus station after buying us snacks. We stayed at qasr el salam hotel and it was beautiful. The food was amazing and the guides were knowledgeable. We had a lot of laughter at the language barrier. Desert safari, sunsets, salt lake were out of this world. All the people taking care of us made us feel like family. White desert tours have impressed us with this one

Most unique place in Egypt - I went to Siwa right away after I arrived in Egypt and it made me fall in love with Egypt even easier.
After other cities I went after that, now I can say Siwa is most unique, surreal place in Egypt.
And all this good memories and experiences that I could get was, for sure, thanks to Amir. (and of course, Hesham)
Communication with Amir was fast and clear and Hesham, the best driver, was friendly and so considerate.
They cared me all day all the time for 2nights 3days and I felt they treated me their best.
Siwa city tour guide was friendly and professional with fluent English, Safari jeep driver gave me most exciting moment with his perfect driving skill.
If you think all the cities in Egypt look similar or if you feel like you are now familiar with Egypt, it’s time for you to head for Siwa and this tour will definitely complete your experience. In

"An Unforgettable Journey: Dancing in the Sahara Desert - A memorable journey to Siwa Oasis in the Sahara Desert, Egypt
When I made the decision to dedicate three precious days of my 10-day trip to Egypt to visit Siwa Oasis, I had my reservations. After spending a day merely sitting in a moving car, I began to question whether my choice was the right one. However, on the second day, my experiences at the Mountain of Dead, Oracle Temple, and Sati reignited my emotions. By noon, I was overcome with joy as I immersed myself in the Salt Lake I had longed to see. I believed it was a worthwhile use of my time. Nevertheless, the pinnacle of my trip was the exploration of the Sahara Desert. I struggle to find adequate words to describe the sheer beauty I encountered; it surpassed even my wildest imagination. It was an extraordinary tour that showcased awe-inspiring natural landscapes. Adding a touch of emotion to the memorable journey: It was an incredibly special and unforgettable experience, made even more remarkable by saving the best for last. I am overwhelmed with deep gratitude towards the desert driver, who skillfully guided me through the vast expanse of the Sahara Desert, evoking an indescribable feeling of pure bliss as if I were dancing in harmony with the sand dunes. The sheer magnificence of witnessing the sunset, accompanied by the aroma of freshly brewed tea and the taste of succulent fruits, stirred my soul to its core. It was a truly awe-inspiring and magical moment that will forever be etched in my heart.

Siwa - a way of life - The trip is fascinating and well-organized by Amir. The crew selected by Amir is amazing and we can't ask for better guides throughout the trip.
Hesham, the driver, is meticulous and responsible for making sure our program is well adhered to. He's attentive to our needs and ensuring we are well taken care of, be it food, water or accommodation.
Nasir 33 of Desert Safari at the Great Sand Sea is one of the best drivers you can have. His maneuvering of the sand dunes is unparalleled.. The Siwan tea he brewed is one of the best we have drunk.
Ahmad Hamza, the guide for Historical Tour of Siwa, spoke in flawless English. He's knowledgeable about the world too. He spoke and explained to us the history of Siwa with passion and gusto. We couldn't ask for a better guide. He has brought Siwa to live through his stories. Siwa is not only a location, but a way of life.
The accommodation at Siwa, Qasr El Salam, is a gem and of unique character. It is clean and hygienic. It also serves up a simple hearty breakfast.
Overall, 10/10 recommend.

Great experience with one of the best tour operator we have ecer had - We asked for 5 days a personalized trip in Siwa and White Desert. The firm is really very well managed and the manager Mr. Amir was really great in answering all our needs. He provide us a good car with a professional driver (thanks Mr Hisam) that is essential in Egypt (in january 2024 you cannot drive by your own because there are many military ckeck-point in the Siwa area, and also because, believe me, you don't want to drive in Egypt!!!).
I was particulary satisfied with the quality of all the collaborator of Mr. Amir, and in particular Mr. Amh the guide in Siwa, one of the best Egyptologist we have ever met.
In Siwa we had a dune safary with Mr. Nassir, that was really outstanding, with a bath in a hot spring in the middle of a tiny oasys, and a tea at the sunset tea on the sand.
In Siwa we appreciated also the visit of the old town (Shali Fortress, build with mud and salt crystal), the archeological sites that date back the ancient egyptians, and the bath in the salt lake.
In White Desert we went in a sleep over in the desert with Mr. Hazim, an incredible guide with such a deep knowledge of the desert (and a very good cook): he is definetely one of the best guide you can have, with a very good english. Safary in the white desert, with the dinner at sunset is one the best experience you can have!
White Desert Travel (Ahmed Safari is the name of the company) provide us a great accomodation in Siwa (Qasr El Salem hotel). The secondo hotel in Bahariya (Ahmed Safary camp) was ok for one night, but I wouldn't choose for a longer stay (very small room that need renovation).
Great trip that I would definetely reccomend! Mr. Amir a very reliable person.

Time slip to Oasis - One of representative monuments in Siwa is Shali fortress. It is traditional houses, partially abandoned. They are being restored with the fund. I am looking forward to the completion of restauration.
Landscape in Siwa is pittoresque. We can spend very agreeable and relaxed time in hot spribgs. Tour in desert is very exciting event. Sun set in the desert is impressive. Mint tea served in the desert was very tasty. Alexander Great got confirmation in the temple of Oracle, Siwa.

Great Experience! Highly Recommend - This was a very well organized and wonderful tour of Siwa. Our guides, Amir and Mohamed made sure everything was taken care of and communicated all of the details of the trip with my friend and I. And while we saw a lot during the short time there, I honestly wish I’d booked an extra day or two. Siwa ended up being one of my favorite cities while visiting Egypt. It has a calm/ peaceful vibe. The people were very friendly, food was great and there was no real sense of urgency with anything (compared to Cairo). We had an amazing time on the desert safari tour and in the salt lakes and learning about the history of Siwa. Would definitely go back in the near future.
