Near the Libyan border, about 750 km west of Cairo, Siwa Oasis feels like another world: mud-brick ruins, turquoise salt lakes, date palms and the endless dunes of the Great Sand Sea. Alexander the Great came here to consult the Oracle of Amun in 331 BC.

The old mud-brick fortress town of Shali and the Temple of the Oracle, visited by Alexander the Great.

A 4×4 adventure over giant dunes, with sandboarding and a swim in a desert spring.

Combine Siwa with Bahariya and the White Desert on a longer Western Desert safari.
