Day 2

After breakfast, we will visit the Ancient ruins of Siwa

The Fortress of Shali from the 13th century Built in the traditional kershef technique (mud and salt mix) was finally abandoned: Not because of military conquest but because of three days of rain in 1926 which caused more damage than any invader had managed. It is honored as a lonely planet top choice

Temple of the Oracle

Located in the town of Aghurmi, some 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) south of Siwa, stand the remains of the temple of the famous Oracle of Siwa. The Oracle was once the main reason for coming to Siwa. Its most famous pilgrim was probably Alexander the Great who came here to consult the God Amon in 331 BC after liberating Egypt from Persian rule.

Cleopatra’s Pool

The springs of Siwa are famous throughout the Western Desert. Cleopatra’s Pool, also known as Cleopatra’s Bath or Spring of the Sun, is a large, circular stone pool filled with crystal-clear, bubbly water. Ironically, Cleopatra probably never bathed here.

Gebel al-Dakrur

Visible from all points in the oasis the triple-peaked Gebel al-Dakrur (or Gebel al-Takrur) serves as a landmark and offers a spectacular view from its summit

Afternoon we go to Fatnas Island that is a palm-shaded island in the midst of Lake Siwa. It makes a great spot for spectacularly colorful sunsets. After that, we go back to the hotel, get dinner and sleep
Day 3

In the afternoon we will leave in a private 4 X 4 vehicle to the other side of Siwa, we will cross the desert to see the great Siwa Mountain, where the first human footprint takes us to the prehistoric era. An archaeological mission of the Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt discovered in August 2007 fossilized human footprints that are dated to more than a million years old. Zahi Hawass reported that fossilized plant samples from the same stratum were analyzed to determine the date. We continue the safari between the dunes until we reach the fossil area where you can see the rocky corals of the Cambrian era, then we will arrive at Shiata Lake, it is a good opportunity to observe flamenco birds and enjoy the relaxing environment, and Sand Boarding in the sand dunes of the desert.

Si- Amon It is one of the most important ancient Western Sahara cemeteries, in which many mummies were found. The importance of the tomb is represented in its illustration of the intermarriage between ancient Egyptian and Greek art.

The crocodile tomb; It is one of the most important archaeological tombs excavated in Mount Muti. It was discovered in 1940 and became known by this name due to the disappearance of the name of the cemetery owner and the admiration of the Siwa people for the sight of the crocodile in the cemetery.
