Begin your unforgettable 3 Days Siwa Oasis and White Desert Tour, crafted by Tripidays for travelers who want to experience Egypt’s desert magic in just a few days. Your journey starts in Cairo, where you’ll travel across the endless Western Desert to reach the mystical Siwa Oasis. Along the way, you’ll explore ancient tombs, Alexander the Great’s Oracle Temple, Cleopatra’s Bath, and enjoy authentic Siwan culture before your first desert safari adventure.
On the second day, the surreal White Desert reveals its otherworldly beauty. Wind sculpted chalk formations rise like giant statues, creating landscapes unlike anywhere else on Earth. Camping beneath a blanket of stars turns this into an unforgettable highlight of adventure travel in Egypt.
Your unforgettable Siwa Oasis and White Desert Tour begins with a pickup from your Cairo hotel. Soon, the busy city fades behind as you enter the vast Egypt Western Desert trip, where golden sands stretch endlessly toward the horizon.
Our first stop is the Mountain of the Dead, an ancient necropolis carved into the hillsides. Tombs from the 26th dynasty and the Greco Roman period whisper stories of rulers and families who once lived in this mystical land.
Next, you’ll visit the Alexander the Great Temple, once home to the Oracle that shaped the destiny of kings. Imagine the legendary conqueror himself seeking wisdom here, standing under the same desert sky.
Pause at one of Siwa’s surreal salty lakes. It's surface still reflects the endless desert sky, creating a dreamy moment of peace and beauty.
Step into history at Cleopatra’s Bath, a natural spring where the queen is said to have bathed. The crystal clear waters invite you for a refreshing dip in the heart of the oasis.
Our journey continues to the Temple of Umm Ubaydah, where towering remains remind us of Siwa’s sacred heritage.
Enjoy a traditional Siwan lunch full of fresh produce, olives, and flavorful spices, a true reflection of the oasis lifestyle.
