Siwa Oasis Trip 2025

Your Siwa Oasis trip from Cairo begins early in the morning. A friendly driver in a clean, air-conditioned private car will meet you right at your hotel’s door in Cairo — no stress, no crowded buses. 

The road ahead leads west into the wild beauty of Egypt’s Western Desert, and you're about to leave the noise of the city behind for good.

The first part of your Siwa Oasis trip itinerary is all about relaxing, looking out the window, and slowly transitioning from city life to peaceful desert vibes. 

As the hours pass, the landscape changes, buildings fade away, and golden dunes begin to appear in every direction.

Whether you booked a private getaway or one of our Siwa Oasis trip packages, this drive sets the tone for the peaceful, mind-clearing experience ahead.

Before reaching Siwa, we stop at El Alamein, one of Egypt’s most significant WWII historical sites. Here, you'll explore the War Memorial and Military Museum, where you’ll see actual tanks, uniforms, photographs, and touching personal letters from soldiers who fought on this very land. 

As you walk through the museum, you’ll feel connected to a powerful chapter in world history.  For those interested in history, this stop adds even more value to your Siwa Oasis all inclusive adventure, making it about more than just palm trees and salt lakes.

Roadside Lunch – Recharge with a Desert View

Midway through the journey from Alexandria to Siwa Oasis, or from Cairo depending on your departure point, we make a stop for lunch. But this isn’t just any lunch break — it’s a chance to soak in the desert’s silence while enjoying authentic Egyptian flavors.

Arrival in Shali – Welcome to Ancient Siwa

By late afternoon, you’ll finally arrive at the heart of your Siwa Oasis trip: the town of Shali, a centuries-old mudbrick fortress that rises in the middle of the oasis. 

It’s not just an old structure, it’s a living story. The crumbling walls and narrow pathways feel untouched by time, and every corner has a tale to tell. 

As you walk through the ruins, you’ll learn how locals once lived, how they built their homes with salt and mud, and how they survived the harsh desert with wisdom passed down for generations.

The view from the top is breathtaking — a sea of palm trees stretching as far as the eye can see. Wrap up your unforgettable desert escape with one of our top-rated Egypt tour packages, crafted for travelers who seek culture, comfort, and adventure

Temple of Amun at Um Ubayda – The Spiritual Gateway of Your Siwa Oasis Trip

Your second day of the Siwa oasis trip begins with a visit to the Temple of Amun in Um Ubayda, a place of deep spiritual energy and historical importance. 

This ancient temple dates back to Egypt’s 26th Dynasty and was once a significant worship site for the god Amun. Although much of the structure is now in ruins, walking among the remaining pillars and walls is like stepping back in time.

Mountain of the Dead – A Historical Treasure Beneath Your Feet

From ancient temples, we now take you to something truly unique: the Mountain of the Dead. This rocky hill is home to dozens of tombs carved into the mountain itself — dating back to the Pharaonic, Greco-Roman, and even early Christian periods. 

It’s an open-air museum where the sands of time have preserved stunning artwork and burial customs.

As you walk along narrow paths, you’ll see tombs with vivid wall paintings, detailed carvings, and symbols that tell stories of afterlife journeys and ancient rituals.
