"Discover Siwa Oasis: 2-Day All-Inclusive Tour from Cairo"

Embark on an unforgettable all-inclusive tour from Cairo to the captivating Siwa Oasis, a hidden gem in Egypt's Western Desert, where ancient history, stunning landscapes, and local culture converge for an extraordinary adventure.

Your journey begins early in the morning with a traditional breakfast at the camp before heading to the legendary Shali Fortress. Built in the 13th century, this ancient fortress was the center of Siwan life for over 800 years. The maze of mud-brick buildings, surrounded by a protective wall with a single entrance, tells the story of a community that lived in narrow quarters, sharing space with their animals. The fortress’s walls, reinforced with large salt chunks from the oasis, reflect the ingenuity of its builders. While weather and rain have caused some deterioration, the fortress still stands as a symbol of Siwa's resilience. You’ll also visit the mosque, still in use today, and explore restored homes that now serve as local guesthouses.

Next, venture to the Mountain of the Dead (Gebel Al-Mawta), located just north of Shali. Here, you’ll discover tombs dating back to the 26th Dynasty, Ptolemaic, and Roman periods. The most beautiful tomb is that of Si Amun, a wealthy Egyptian, possibly of Greek descent. His tomb is adorned with vivid artwork, including a striking image of the goddess Nut standing beside a sycamore tree, offering a unique insight into ancient Egyptian beliefs and practices.

After immersing yourself in the history of Siwa, the tour continues with a scenic drive to the Mediterranean coast, where you’ll stop at Marsa Matruh, a charming coastal town famous for its white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. The serene beauty of this area is believed to have been a favorite of Cleopatra herself, and you’ll have the opportunity to relax and enjoy a delicious seafood lunch at Magdy Restaurant, renowned for its fresh, locally-sourced seafood.
