Tour Overview

For the intrepid traveler, Egypt’s true magic lies far beyond the shadows of the Pyramids. A Siwa Oasis tour from Cairo is a journey across the Sahara to a land that time forgot—a lush sanctuary of 300,000 palm trees and surreal turquoise salt lakes. Here, you can wander the ancient, melted ruins of the Shali Fortress, stand in the footsteps of Alexander the Great at the Temple of the Oracle, and experience the unique heritage of the Siwan people. Whether you’re floating weightlessly in therapeutic waters or chasing the sunset across the golden dunes of the Great Sand Sea, Siwa offers a profound sense of stillness and mystery that is rare in the modern world

Tour Itinerary

Siwa-Salt-Lakes

Your adventure Siwa Oasis Tour begins at 4:00 am with a comfortable private pick-up from your Cairo hotel, embarking on a scenic drive across Egypt’s Western Desert (approx. 10 hours). Upon arrival in Siwa, check into your charming eco-lodge and recharge with a hearty breakfast.

Step back in time as you wander through the Old Town of Shali, its ancient mud-brick walls whispering stories of centuries past. Later, float effortlessly in the shimmering Siwa Salt Lakes, letting the minerals work their natural magic as the desert sun warms your skin.

As evening falls, watch the sky ignite with shades of gold and crimson before soaking in the soothing waters of a natural hot spring at a desert campsite. Your day ends with a delicious dinner at Albabenshal Heritage Restaurant, where authentic Siwan flavors meet warm hospitality.

    Amazing trip through great planning and on the ground execution Mustafa was an attentive and thoughtful guide who balanced the needs of our entire family. He ensured that we were educated, safe and efficient in all of our travels. We appreciated his team’s ability to be flexible to our needs whether we had more energy than expected or less and needed to cut a day short. I was particularly impressed with his thoughtfulness when it came to finding value in additional tour options so that we didn’t spend any unnecessary money. We would certainly travel with Bright Egypt again.

    A fantastic tour of Egypt The most comprehensive and wonderful tour company in Egypt!!!! From the moment we met in our hotel we were looked after and cared for in every aspect. Even helping with the purchase of a new suitcase to replace one damaged by airline. We were listened to regarding our preferences for tours and extra side visits were also secured (the visit to Howard Carter’s was a personal highlight for example). Cannot recommend this company highly enough and already we have referred many friends and colleagues!!

    Bright Egypt Travel, Highly recommended My plan was to visit Egypt to see the pyramids, temples and take a Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan. I flew from Cairo to Luxor and took a taxi to the Steigenberger Resort Achti on the banks of the Nile. The hotel was clean, comfortable and in a good location, a short taxi ride to the temples and Karnak. No sooner had i arrived than i received a call from my personal tour guide, Mustafa Dawish from Bright Egypt Travel. Mustafa is young but knowledgeable, polite and speaks good English. I can highly recommend him as someone you can trust to take all the stress out of traveling in Egypt. During my trip Mustafa would phone me early each morning to clarify the agenda for the day, what time we would meet and where. Every question i had was fully answered, whether it concerned antiquities, culture, restaurant or hotel recommendations, or typical taxi fares. He always knew what would suit my needs and my budget. I was especially impressed that when i left Luxor on the Nile Cruise to Aswan, Mustafa would take the train to the next upstream stop to meet me and and be my personal guide again for the day. At Aswan, Mustafa recommended and arranged accommodation at The Old Nubian Guesthouse which was truly special. Overall as a solo traveler I am very grateful to have had Mustafa as my tour guide. He was invaluable, not only in sharing his knowledge of temples and providing many recommendations, but also in the way he removed the daily hassles of traveling alone in Egypt which can be quite tiresome at times. This was my third visit to Egypt and if i am able to return again, Mustafa will be my go-to tour guide. I can highly recommend Bright Egypt Travel to take care of all your hotel and travel arrangements.

    The trip of a lifetime. Mustafa was our tour guide from day 1. He took care of everything. All we had to do was enjoy Mustafa was absolutely amazing and hands down the best tour guide we could have asked for! He made sure we saw everything and was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire trip. We asked tons of questions, and his knowledge of Egyptian history is outstanding. Egypt had been on my bucket list for years, and this experience exceeded all expectations. Despite events happening not far from where we were staying, we felt completely safe the entire time. I cannot recommend Mustafa highly enough—he truly made this trip unforgettable!
