Hot springs, ancient ruins, date and olive groves and dunes in every direction. Siwa Oasis is one of the most different places you can visit from Cairo, and you can camp in its desert.
What is Siwa Oasis?
Siwa is an old community of date and olive growers in Egypt’s Western Desert, with hot springs, ancient ruins and dunes all around it. It is a very different trip from the White Desert, and it combines well with a night of desert camping.
What you see
- Hot springs inside the oasis.
- Ancient ruins from the old community.
- Date and olive groves around the village.
- Dunes on every side of the oasis.
