The day is filled with exciting desert adventures as you continue your Siwa Oasis Desert Safari. After a refreshing breakfast, you will explore the ruins of the ancient town of Shali, the heart of Siwa. While relatively young compared to other ancient sites, the remains of Shali provide fascinating insights into the history and culture of this isolated desert settlement.
Your journey then takes you to the famed Temple of Alexander the Great, also known as the Temple of the Oracle, located in the ancient village of Aghurmi. Built during the 26th dynasty, this temple holds great historical significance, as it was believed to be the site where Alexander the Great consulted the oracles before his campaigns.
Next, you’ll visit the Temple of Amun Ra at Um Ubeyda, a sacred site dedicated to the god Amun and his divine triad. Afterward, delve into Siwa’s rich culture and history with a visit to the Siwa House Museum, which offers a detailed look into the life and customs of the local Bedouin people.
For lunch, enjoy a delightful meal at Abdo’s Restaurant, located in the oasis square, with stunning views of the Shali Fortress.
In the afternoon, you'll visit Cleopatra’s Spring (Ein Guba), a natural spring with crystal-clear water perfect for a refreshing swim. As the day winds down, you'll be treated to a spectacular sunset at Fitnas Island, where you can relax and watch the sun dip below the horizon, painting the desert in golden hues.
Overnight stay in Siwa.
