After a hearty breakfast, delve into the ancient mysteries of the oasis. The Siwa Oasis Adventure continues with a visit to the Mountain of the Dead, where history whispers through the tombs carved into the rock.

Next, the Temple of the Oracle of Amun beckons. This ancient site, steeped in legend, offers a glimpse into the past where pharaohs once sought divine guidance. As you wander through the ruins, the stories of old come alive, painting a vivid picture of Siwa’s rich heritage. The journey then leads you to the salt lakes, where the buoyant waters offer a unique swimming experience. Let the mineral-rich waters rejuvenate your spirit before heading to Cleopatra’s Pool for a refreshing dip.

Thrills in the Great Sand Sea

As the afternoon sun casts its golden glow, it’s time to embark on the Great Sand Sea Safari. This adventure, starting at 1 PM, is a heart-pounding ride through the vast expanse of the desert.
