Paradise Oasis tour - Heading out to Siwa was definitely a highlight of our trip to Egypt. Don’t let the long drive deter you, visiting the oasis is definitely worth it. The guides who looked after us were very friendly, knowledgeable and fun to hang around with. They made us feel right at home. If you’re looking for a tour that is a bit different from the regular hustle and bustle of Egypt then this is it.

Amazing 3 days! - We had an absolute blast on this tour! Such a memorable experience from start to finish. If you're reading through reviews and unsure whether to book, let this be your sign—do it! My partner and I had an incredible time, and our tour guide, Madgey, made the trip both relaxing and fun-filled. He really brought the whole experience to life with his knowledge and energy. It truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. While I originally went for the salt lakes, the desert safari and the warm, welcoming people of Siwa really made the trip unforgettable. Don’t hesitate—this is an adventure you won’t want to miss!

Unforgettable - It has been an unforgettable experience, from the first moment our Mojito Guide has been very friendly, has always been aware of everything we needed, also the head of the company has behaved very well with us. I wouldn’t know which part to stay with, but being able to go 4x4 through the dunes at full speed is an experience that you have to live once in a lifetime. Float in the salt lakes... sandboard. But without a doubt the best thing to know all these people who have made all this possible

Fantastic trip - It was an amazing trip with a lot of fun when driving in the desert with 4x4, sand boarding and sightseeing. Big thanks to our guide Hassan and to our driver who also is the ceo and founder of Touritos: Gamal, who took the time to check in if all was well with us during our trip.

Amazing experience - Seeing the desert, the Oasis was amazing, of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. We did everything that appeared on the itinerary and even more. Hassam and Moha were wonderful guides and great people, they made the experience super nice worrying about our comfort at all times. We went back to Cairo with the head of the company and he behaved great with us too. From the beginning to the end of the trip they were helpful and attentive. I definitely recommend this tour and this company staff.

A perfect detour from Giza - This Siwa Oasis trip was the perfect detour we were looking for to escape from the hustle of Giza. I was immediately sold when I saw the photos of the salt pools, and I am glad to say this tour really delivered. We were lucky enough to have Magdy as our guide for the trip, and not only did he have great energy, but he also went out of his way to always make sure we had the best experience. The desert was amazing, and we did so many fun activities like sand bashing and sand surfing. The afternoon snacks they provided while we watched the sunset were also divine. They were very good with little details, like giving us a half-frozen bottle of water in the desert, which was super thoughtful. The 4X4 driver was so skillful, and you can count on Magdy to bring the extra fun. We were even lucky enough to spot some desert foxes! On the second day, we had a very eventful morning touring around Siwa, checking out Shali town and other points of interest. The knowledgeable local Siwan guide made it enjoyable. Then, after lunch, we headed to the salt pools and were lucky to have a really fresh one all to ourselves. That was really the main thing I was hoping to see, so I was super satisfied. The only thing that could be better was the accommodation. The sites themselves were nice, but the fact that we went in the summer and that there was no AC in the room made the nights unbearably hot. I guess one just needs to be prepared for that. Also, because it was low season in the summer, we didn’t get to enjoy the lodges to their full potential. For example, the pool was closed, and some areas were under renovation. I would also advise people not to take the itinerary word for word. They sometimes have to re-order or switch out some activities according to the group size or other factors, but rest assured that they always try their best to fit in all the wonderful things that Siwa has to offer. I would 100% recommend this to anyone traveling to Egypt, and make sure you ask for Magdy because he is just awesome!

Very good experience! - Very good experience! Siwa is totally worth visiting. We specially liked the tour around the dessert. The tour guide Hassan and the driver Ayman were very kind and helpful all the time. Food, accommodation facilities and transportation was really good. The only minor bad point was that we booked the tour in Spanish and due to a last minute issue it was changed to English, which fortunately we could speak.

Jam-packed trip - Amazing tour that felt very personal and hospitable. Jam packed 2.5 days itenerary that included a healthy mix of cultural and adventurous stops. Our guide Anton went out of his way to make sure we had an amazing experience, from checking what ingredients were fresh at each restaurant, to helping us barter with local merchants, to coordinating all logistics for a seamless adventure. Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. At the end of the tour our guide felt more like an old acquaintance than a guide doing his job. Trip was truly "all-inclusive" as advertised and we never felt pressured for 'extras' like many other tours like to do. The driver was incredibly friendly, courteous, and professional. He was the ONLY driver from our 2 weeks in Egypt that actually left the AC running at stops so that we felt comfortable during the hot summer (without us asking). Will definitely recommend this tour to friends.
