Siwa Oasis, Salt Lakes & Oracle Temple – 3 Days / 2 Nights

Discover the remote beauty of Siwa Oasis on a memorable 3-day, 2-night expedition into Egypt’s Western Desert. Surrounded by palm groves, olive farms, natural springs, and desert landscapes, Siwa offers a unique combination of ancient history, traditional culture, and peaceful oasis scenery.

Visit the Oracle Temple, historically associated with Alexander the Great, and learn about the importance of the oracle in ancient Egyptian and Greco-Roman history. Continue to the ancient mud-brick Shali Fortress, a remarkable landmark that reflects Siwa’s traditional architecture and the history of its oasis community.

One of the highlights of the expedition is a visit to Siwa’s naturally salty lakes. Experience the unique sensation of floating in the mineral-rich water while enjoying the peaceful desert surroundings. The salt lakes provide a memorable natural experience and a different way to appreciate Siwa’s distinctive environment.

The journey also introduces you to local Siwan flavors through a traditional feast featuring dishes prepared with locally produced olive oil, herb-infused dried dates, and warm lemon tea. This tasting experience offers a simple and authentic connection to the food traditions of the oasis.

As a special souvenir, take home a handmade candle holder carved from natural Siwan rock salt, providing a distinctive reminder of your journey through this remote oasis.
