Itinerary

Begin your journey with a breakfast break, arranged according to your hotel’s location, to set the stage for an enjoyable adventure. Travel along the Mediterranean coast to Marsa Matruh, where you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch with a World Travel Path representative before continuing your journey south into the Sahara Desert to the enchanting Siwa Oasis.

Upon arrival, the excitement begins with a thrilling desert safari. Step into a sturdy 4×4 Land Cruiser and venture deep into Siwa’s golden dunes. The desert unveils its hidden treasures as you pause at the shimmering Cold Lake and the first Hot Spring discovered in Siwa—both natural wonders with unique stories to tell.

The adrenaline rises as you try sandboarding, gliding down steep dunes with the warm desert breeze on your face. As the sun dips lower, the sky transforms into shades of amber and crimson, a breathtaking backdrop for Siwan tea served at sunset.

Nightfall invites serenity: relax beneath a canopy of stars, far away from city lights, where the silence of the desert is profound. Enjoy a special dinner at the hot spring camp, then soothe your body in the naturally heated spring before settling into your cozy desert tent for the night.

Wake up to the calm of the desert and enjoy breakfast at the camp before diving into Siwa’s cultural gems. Your exploration begins at the Shali Fortress, the ancient mud-brick citadel that once guarded the oasis. 

Continue to the Mountain of the Dead, an archaeological site filled with tombs carved into rock, then visit the legendary Oracle Temple of Amun, where Alexander the Great once sought divine guidance. End the morning at Dakrur Mountain, famed for its curative hot sands.

Next, experience Siwa’s natural wonders—float effortlessly in the Salt Lakes, then refresh yourself with a swim in the crystal-clear waters of Cleopatra Spring, a pool where legend says the queen herself once bathed. Lunch will be served at a traditional local restaurant, giving you a taste of authentic Siwan flavors.

In the evening, return to your ecolodge to rest before venturing out to Fitnas Island, one of Siwa’s most enchanting spots. Here you’ll witness a magical sunset over palm groves and shimmering lake waters, accompanied by a glass of fresh Siwan juice. 

The day continues with a visit to a traditional Siwan House, where you’ll gain insight into the oasis lifestyle, crafts, and customs. Dinner will be enjoyed at a local restaurant before returning to your ecolodge for a peaceful night.
