Great experience!
Great experience, wish we had more time! Communication was fast and clear at all times. The owner was always making sure things were smooth and the way we expected. High light was the desert safari, great driver and really nice time. The town is lovely, the saltwater pools, the hot springs were all great as well. Looking forward to visit his campsite and spend the nights under the stars!

Great experience in Siwa!
We booked 3 days in Siwa with the Luxury Tours Egypt and everything has been amazing. They took care of us from the first moment and in every situation. They took us to discover salt lakes, Cleopatra’s pool, desert, the Mountain of death and wonderful sunsets (the first in Siwa lake and the second in the desert).
Our guide Khaled has been always kind, funny and a great travel buddy.
Highly recommended!

Favorite experience in Egypt
This was definitely worth the three day commitment and many hours in the car! Siwa is an incredibly special and unique experience. The salt lakes are stunning, and the afternoon spent dunebashing, sandboarding, and watching a sunset in the sand dunes was my favorite part. You get to both enjoy some real serenity and unique natural formations, and get a huge adrenaline rush from the activities. The roads to/from Siwa are actually not that bad - the main highway from Cairo to Marsa Matrouh appears to have been recently renovated (and the rest stops/gas stations are also relatively new/well kept).
We stayed at the Panta Lodge. The food (breakfast and dinner) was excellent and the rooms are clean. Some of the facilities are on the older side (my shower had a crack in the floor), but overall it was well maintained. They also have a beautiful pool and some wonderful campfires.
Our guides Mahmoud and Eslam (brothers!) were super easygoing and flexible. They made sure everyone had a good experience. When I spotted a pottery studio on the side of the road, they made sure we drove back to actually take a look. They also took care of nice touches like providing fire roasted yams as a treat after dinner our first night. My only constructive criticism is that there could have been more clarity day to day on what the itinerary was and what we should bring/wear. For example, it would have been helpful to know before we headed to the salt lakes that it was a good idea to bring a towel and a change of shoes. Also, know that the hot spring is basically just an outdoor hot tub, and the swimming hole is a kind of murky pool in the center of a cul-de-sac.
Overall though, I would really recommend this entire experience! Thank you to our guides for making it worth our while.

10 e lode
Dopo la lunga traversata in pulmino con pranzo e pausa passeggiata al mare, 3 check-point di cui uno con controllo passaporti e bagagli - ci hanno spiegato che Siwa è a 30km dalla Libia perció per evitare traversamenti ci sono controlli da parte dell'esercito in ingresso ed uscita dall'area - arriviamo a destinazione, in tempo per il tramonto dall'isoletta di Fatnas, con il sole che scompare sull'acqua dell'oasi e dietro le dune del deserto - già questo vale il viaggio. Siwa è diversa dagli altri posti dove siamo stati Giza, Cairo e Luxor. Qui per la prima volta da quando siamo arrivati non ci siamo sentiti alla mercé di chi volesse chiederci soldi. È un villaggetto rurale dove la gente si ferma a parlare e scherzare senza insistenza e perció tutta l'esperienza è molto piú rilassata. Il giorno si parte con giro alla montagna dei morti, un tempio Tolomeo, per poi tuffo nel salt lake, pozze di sale con acqua cristallina ai confini dell'oasi. Tutta l'area è termale perció abbiamo proseguito spostandoci in tuk-tuk tra diversi altri bagni, inclusa la pozza di Cleopatra. Dopo un giro in jeep nel deserto tra dune come fossero montagne russe, abbiamo passato la notte di Capodanno in tenda in un campo con tutti i comfort.
Ció che ha fatto la differenza con gli altri tour è stata la guida locale, Khaled Farmawy. Si è occupato di tutto e senza sembrare una guida, piuttosto un amico Egiziano in giro con te, aperto a spiegare qualunque diversità culturale, scherzare e coinvolgerti senza pressioni, onesto e preparato. Grazie alla sua costante e silenziosa intermediazione non abbiamo mai pagato extra da nessuna parte, salvo che per nostra iniziativa e ci siamo goduti la vacanza.

Siwa Oasis Tour, you cannot miss!
The tour is fully packed of amazing views and excitements. The Mountain of the Dead, Salt Lake and Desert Safari are spectacular. The hotel is stunning and comfy for staying in. You can enjoy yourself in the all-inclusive tour.
The tour guide, Eslam drove us from Cairo to Siwa and introduced us the geographical stories along the area. He is a caring, fun guy and a good photographer, you will not feel bored on car. He knows all the people in Siwa, he is one of the best guides you can meet.

Siwa
Superbe excursion, beaux paysages tout du long, hébergement au top. J'ai adoré l'activité dans le désert, on en prend plein les yeux. Guide super sympa, nous étions en petit groupe, ce qui a rendu l'expérience encore plus agréable. Je recommande cette activité.

Memorable vacation
My friends and I were in Egypt for a week but the 3 days spent on this tour were easily the best of the whole trip. It is honestly difficult to properly describe but if sleeping under a desert sky, swimming in lakes hidden between sand dunes and exploring a 11th century Amazing fortress sounds good to you then this is the tour to pick! of course, most of the success of this tour really comes down to the people operating it. Tony was the perfect guide. Knowledgeable, personable and great at anticipating our needs, he was truly the reason the trip went so smoothly not to mention he’s a great photographer. I'd also like to take this chance to mention Mahmoud (who was our desert safari guide), he was absolutely hilarious and an excellent story teller. Islam who showed us around Siwa, knew so much about the city and community, and getting the historical context of the sites really
Luxury Tours Egypt The best, highly recommended

Don’t trust anyone no matter how special they make you feel it’s their job you are just an ATM machine in their eyes.
Yes you get lovely pictures taken of you by your tour guide just to sell their product it’s all for a show.
