Fabulous Sunset at Fatnas Lake

Marsa Matruh - After a 4-hour drive from Cairo, with a stop at a rest house halfway, we’ll have breakfast in Marsa Matrouh, one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful cities. Enjoy your breakfast and the drive through the Corniche area.

Lake Siwa - Arrive in Siwa to catch the sunset at Fatnas Lake, a small island in Birket Siwa. It’s a wonderful spot to sit and enjoy the sunset, offering a spectacular view of the lake with Gebel Bayda and Hamra as a backdrop to the west. Dinner and overnight stay at our hotel in Siwa.

Magic of Siwa Oasis

Temple of the Oracle of Amun / Aghurmi - Also known as the Temple of the Oracle, this site is believed to be where Alexander the Great sought confirmation from the Siwan oracle that he was the son of Zeus, the Greek god of gods.

Lake Siwa - Visit the salty lake where the water’s buoyancy makes swimming easy, even for non-swimmers. Be cautious not to get the water in your eyes. Choose the crystal-clear lake, identifiable by its visible bottom. Keep a bottle of water handy to rinse off after swimming, as the lake’s healing properties are much stronger than regular seawater. It’s a wonderful place for a swim!

Cleopatra’s Pool - Spring of Juba - Proceed to Cleopatra’s bath, also known as the spring of the sun. Legend has it that Cleopatra herself swam here.

Great Sand Sea - Head to the Great Sand Sea by Jeep 4x4 for sandboarding. Discover the best sand dunes for sandboarding in Egypt, located near Siwa Oasis. Visit the hot and cold spring Bir Waheed, then enjoy some traditional Bedouin tea at sunset as we prepare our campsite. Dinner and overnight stay at a hotel in Siwa.

Siwa to Cairo

Mountain of the Dead - Visit the Mountain of the Dead, a conical mountain just over a kilometer north of Shali. Tombs from the Twenty-Sixth Dynasty, Ptolemaic, and Roman periods are carved into the mountain. There are four must-see tombs at Gebel Al Mawta, with Si Amun Tomb being the most beautiful.

Shali Fortress - Visit Shali Fort, built on a hill within a protective wall. The maze of mud-brick buildings that make up the fortress served the oasis’s inhabitants for nearly eight centuries. The residents lived in narrow quarters, sharing their space with animals that were herded into the fortress each evening.
