Siwa Oasis hat uns die Herzen gestohlen – endlose Dünen, Salzseen, Tee am Feuer und die freundlichsten Menschen, die man sich vorstellen kann.
Siwa Oasis hat alle Erwartungen übertroffen. Von dem Moment an, als wir Gizeh verließen, fühlte sich die gesamte Erfahrung an wie ein Schritt in eine andere Welt – langsamer, ruhiger, friedlicher und zutiefst authentisch.
Die Menschen in Siwa sind einige der freundlichsten und gastfreundlichsten, die wir je getroffen haben. Was diesen Ort besonders macht, sind nicht nur die unwirklichen Landschaften... es ist die Wärme der Menschen, die ihn Heimat nennen.
Ein großer Teil davon war unser Fahrer Ahmed. Er kümmerte sich von Anfang bis Ende um alles und ließ die lange Fahrt mühelos angehen. Die Fahrt war bequem genug, um das meiste davon zu durchschlafen, und er hat die Stopps perfekt für Dehnungs-, Kaffee- und Badpausen getimt, während er trotzdem eine tolle Zeit sicher machte.
Jeder Teil der Reise fühlte sich durchdacht kuratiert an. Endloses Essen, unglaublicher Tee, natürliche Quellen, massive Sanddünen, schwebend in Kristall - klare Salzseen und den Sonnenuntergang am Wüstenlagerfeuer unter einem Sternenhimmel beobachten. Ahmed nahm uns sogar mit zu seinem eigenen versteckten Platz am Salzsee, und es sah ehrlich gesagt unwirklich auf Fotos aus.
Aber was uns am meisten geblieben ist, war das Gefühl des Ortes. Siwa hat eine Möglichkeit, dich langsamer zu machen und zu schätzen, wie klein du im Vergleich zur Welt um dich herum bist. Es fühlt sich friedlich, erdend und manchmal fast spirituell an.
Die Gastfreundschaft war unvergesslich – von jungen einheimischen Mädchen, die aufgeregt darum baten, Fotos mit uns zu machen, bis hin zu einer Ältesten, die zuerst einschüchternd wirkte, uns dann aber traditionelles Essen mit so viel Wärme und Sorgfalt servierte. Momente wie diese machen Reisen unvergesslich.
Wenn Sie sich nicht in die Landschaften von Siwa verlieben, werden Sie sich absolut in die Menschen verlieben.

This experience cannot be described, it must be lived !
I have no words to describe this experience !
I had a lovely trip with Faouzi and Mohammed. Faouzi drove safely and was so nice. To Mohammed, the guide, I would like to address a huge thank you for everything. He took excellent care of us throughout the entire trip. He always makes sure we have everything we need : food, drinks, stops during the drive..
This journey to Siwa was amazing : we had a great stay at Hot Spring Camp, and Mohammed introduced us to some delicious dishes. People in Siwa were so kind. The journey was beyond my expectations, I will never forget this.

Siwa from Giza – Great experience overall, with a few caveats
We did a 3-day trip to Siwa (2 days of driving, 1 day on-site) departing from Giza. The overall balance is positive, but a few things are worth mentioning.
Highlights: The driver was excellent – punctual, professional, and the vehicle spotless. Our guide, young and incredibly kind, genuinely cared about making the group happy. The visits and activities in Siwa delivered, and the food was consistently good.
Room for improvement: Communication with the tour operator beforehand was frustrating – passports were requested, submitted, then requested again with no acknowledgment in between, giving an impression of disorganization. As for the guide, despite his clear good intentions, the language barrier (English was passable but limited) combined with last-minute itinerary changes led to some confusion and an occasionally unclear schedule.
Worth knowing: The drive is over 9 hours each way. This is non-negotiable geography, but it does take a toll – the trip is genuinely exhausting, which slightly dulls the overall experience.
Bottom line: A very good trip that falls just short of excellent due to unreliable communication and some organizational fuzziness. Siwa is absolutely worth the journey – just come well-rested, and keep your expectations flexible on the logistics side.

Amazing trip to Siwa
We had an excellent experience with our driver and guide Ahmed during our four-day trip to Siwa Oasis. From start to finish, he was professional, reliable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. His driving was safe and comfortable, even on long stretches and more challenging roads, which made the journey feel smooth and stress-free.
What truly stood out was his friendly and accommodating nature. He was always punctual, patient, and attentive to our needs, making sure we were comfortable at all times. He also went above and beyond to share insights about Siwa’s culture, history, and hidden gems that we would not have discovered on our own.
His recommendations for places to visit, eat, and relax were spot on, and he gave us the flexibility to explore at our own pace without ever feeling rushed. It genuinely felt like traveling with someone who cared about making our experience memorable rather than just doing a job.
I would highly recommend Ahmed to anyone planning a trip to Siwa Oasis. He played a big role in making this trip special, and I would not hesitate to book with him again in the future.

The BEST Siwa Tour!
My Siwa tour was nothing short of magical. One of those rare trips that both feels luxurious and deeply authentic at the same time. The accommodations were absolutely beautiful, blending comfort with traditional Siwan charm, making it the perfect place to unwind after full days of exploring.
What truly made the experience exceptional were the knowledgeable, warm, and clearly passionate guides. They brought Siwa’s rich history to life, from ancient sites to hidden corners of the charming town that you’d never discover on your own.
Every day felt like a highlight: horseback riding through breathtaking desert landscapes, floating effortlessly in the crystal-clear salt lakes, and soaking in the hot springs under open skies. And the food fresh, flavorful, and abundant was some of the best I had in Egypt.
Siwa itself has a quiet, soulful beauty that’s hard to put into words. This tour captured it perfectly. If you’re looking for a unique, immersive, and unforgettable. I am a travel planner who would not hesitate to book any tour with Luxury Tours Egypt.

Beautiful, fun, Safe, reliable, and the pinnacle of hospitality! This is the excursion you don’t want to miss.
Our Driver Ahmed was awesome. He is a life long local of Cairo/Giza and knows all of the ways to get around traffic. We made the trip to Siwa safe and in record time. His vehicle is new clean and comfortable with great AC. He makes intuitive stops along the way for snacks, drink, stretch and bathroom. We felt safe the entire time. Egypt traffic is chaotic and having a good driver is important.Ahmed is the best driver in Egypt. The resort is beautiful and everyone is so kind. Ahmed is always looking out for you and makes sure you are happy. He also is very flexible and allows you to make adjustments or stops along the trip. He knows Siwa very well and is familiar with the checkpoints. The off-road dessert and sand boarding was really awesome. Also Ahmed knows the best secret salt lake spots so you are away from crowds and he takes great photos. All meals were awesome and they always feed you more than you can ever eat. The tea and coffee is amazing and make sure you get some Siwa Juice. This was the highlight of our entire trip. Thank you Ahmed for taking such good care of us.

An incredible adventure !
I wish I could rate this more than five stars. It was a well organized tour and exceeded our expectations.
Hany our guide was engaging, kind and thoughtful. There really isn’t enough words to describe what an amazing tour guide he is. He went above and beyond.
Even though nine hours seems like a long drive. It didn’t feel that long.Hany made well timed stops along the way.
He was very knowledgeable not with only the sites we were seeing, but also the town of Siwa.
The hotel was clean. It was nice having a pool and hot spring..
The tour was an incredible and very memorable experience.
Thank you again, Hany for such a wonderful adventure! 😊

Amr war ein erstaunlicher Reiseleiter. Er nahm uns mit zu allen Orten vor Ort und wir schafften es, im Grunde alle Standorte für uns zu haben. Empfehlen Sie diese Reise jedem, der mehr als nur die üblichen Ziele sehen möchte, es ist ein Erlebnis, das wir nicht vergessen werden.

Unique experience
Guides took care of everything, showed all the highlights and some hidden gems too. Siwa is not easy to get to so it's a good idea to book with a tour agency such as this.
