The trip begins with a transfer via the El-Alamein road. Your first stop is at El Alamein, where you’ll visit the World War II Museum and explore the cemeteries from the battle of 1942. The site commemorates the crucial Allied victory led by Britain’s Field Marshal Montgomery, which halted the German-Italian advance towards the Nile. Pay your respects at the Commonwealth War Cemetery, with its 7,000 white headstones honoring soldiers from Australia, New Zealand, and Britain, and visit the memorials established by these nations.

Following your time at El Alamein, you'll drive along the picturesque Mediterranean coast to Marsa Matrouh for a delicious seafood lunch. From there, continue the journey to Siwa Oasis, a scenic four-hour drive from Marsa Matrouh.

Arriving in Siwa, you'll enjoy dinner and spend the night at a charming eco-lodge.

Meals included: Lunch.

Start your day with a delightful breakfast at the Eco-lodge before continuing your Siwa Oasis tour, which began in Cairo. Begin by exploring the ancient ruins of the Old Town of Shali. Next, visit the Temple of Alexander the Great (also known as the Temple of the Oracle) in Aghurmi village, dating back to the 26th dynasty, and the Temple of Amun Ra, also known as the Temple of Um Ubeyda.

Immerse yourself in the local Siwan culture at the Siwa House Museum, followed by lunch at Abdo Restaurant, located in the Oasis Square with views of Shali. Afterward, explore the Mountain of the Dead (Jabal el Mawta), where you can see the tombs of Siwa's rulers from the 26th dynasty, including the tombs of SI Amon, MSW Isis, and the Crocodile Tomb.

In the afternoon, relax at Cleopatra Spring with a refreshing swim in its crystal-clear waters. End your day with a transfer to Fitnas Island to witness a breathtaking sunset.

Overnight stay in Siwa.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch.

Start your day with breakfast at the hotel, then get ready for another exciting day in Siwa on your desert safari. Your Egyptologist guide will accompany you in a four-wheel drive to explore the Great Sand Sea.

Your adventure begins as you navigate through the golden sand dunes until you reach the fossils area, where you can observe rocky coral reefs that date back to the Cambrian era.

Next, we’ll visit a picturesque lake nestled in the desert. You might even spot some flamingos! Feel free to take a refreshing swim in the cool waters while enjoying the serene atmosphere.

Afterward, we’ll pass by Dakrour Mountain, where you'll have the chance to try sandboarding. While it might not be as fast as snowboarding, with the right amount of wax, you can glide down the expansive sand dunes for an exhilarating experience.

Once the sandboarding is over, it’s time to unwind in the famous hot spring, Bir Wahid, perfect for soothing your muscles. Conclude your day by watching another stunning sunset over the Great Sand Sea, enjoying Bedouin tea amidst the dunes.

You’ll spend the night in Siwa, surrounded by the tranquility of the oasis.
