Egypt offers more than just its iconic pyramids; it's also home to the Siwa Oasis, boasting hundreds of salt pools where sinking is virtually impossible. Siwa, a verdant oasis nestled in the Egyptian Western Desert, was once known as palm land in ancient Egypt - a name that aptly reflects the abundance of palm trees it's renowned for.
Your journey begins with an air-conditioned transfer from your accommodation in the El-Alamain Hotel Region towards Siwa Oasis. Here, you'll explore the ruins of the oracle temple of Zeus Amon, famed since the era of Herodotus and consulted by none other than Alexander the Great. You'll also uncover the Mountain of the Dead, housing numerous tombs dating back to ancient Egyptian eras, Greeks, and Romans.
Remember to pack your swimsuits and towels for an unforgettable experience at Siwa's salt lakes. These four expansive bodies of water boast a depth of 4m and a staggering 95% salt concentration. This high salt content not only allows you to effortlessly float on the water's surface, regardless of your swimming abilities, but it also offers potential healing benefits for various medical conditions, particularly skin issues. Conclude your day with an exhilarating safari adventure in a 4x4 off-road vehicle across the Siwa Oasis desert, including an authentic lunch at a Bedouin tent.
