Siwa Oasis

IMG_3737.JPG

Siwa is a spectacular oasis far into Egypt's Western Desert. You can travel there from Cairo but it will take about two days to do it safely, with a night in Mersa Matruh arriving in Siwa around lunch time on the second day. I can meet you there, and drive you around the sights of Siwa, with an evening trip to the sand dunes beyond. Then we can drive back to Bawiti and the Oasis of Bahariya as either a one or two day trip (the latter is recommended). You could then stay one night in the hotel at Bahariya, then take a one night safari into the Black and White Deserts, and a visit to crystal Mountain, returning to Bahariya by lunchtime to take a van back to Cairo.

I need plenty of notice for this trip as military permission is required. For this I need a photocopy of your passport sent to me at least one month ahead. On this trip you will follow the footsteps of Alexander the Great.
