Siwa experience
We had a wonderful time with Jammal and Mohammed, they were very nice and friendly and helped us with anything we needed. Siwa experience was the best mix of history, beautiful nature, adrenalin boost and relaxation. Definitely would recommend!

April in siwa
We went for a 4 day trip to siwa, and it was well worth it. Especially after the hectic atmosphere of Cairo, it was a nice and relaxing experience with beautiful accomodation, nature and food. The tour guide Muhammed took us to all the best less known spots, and we were always acompanied by our driver Jamal. Very affordable, nearly everything apart from drinks included in price.

good experience to escape from the chaos of Cairo
A True Desert Adventure: 3 Days in Siwa
Overall, our 3-day trip to Siwa was a good experience, though it is important to go in with an open mind. If you embrace adventure and can adapt to a more rustic environment, you will absolutely love it.
The Highlights
Our guide, Hany, provided a clean, comfortable car and went above and beyond by stocking it with snacks and water, ensuring we had everything we needed for the long drives.
Our accomodation Asfay Ecolodge. The lodge is beautiful, and the breakfast was incredible—definitely the best meal of the day.
Desert Thrills: The dune bashing "rally" in the Great Sand Sea was an adrenaline rush. Ending the day with tea and shisha while watching the sunset over the dunes was a magical, unforgettable moment.
Personal Observations
While the experience was great, there are a few things to keep in mind for a smoother trip:
Accommodation Tweaks: At Asfay Ecolodge, adding a shower curtain in the bathroom would be a simple but very welcome improvement to keep the space dry.
Dining Variety: We found the food during the 3 days to be quite repetitive (mostly rice, chicken/meat, and soup). While Hany did offer alternatives like Koshary or Egyptian pizza, they didn't quite suit our personal tastes.
The Cleopatra’s Pool Situation: A word of caution—the public changing and shower facilities at Cleopatra’s Pool are below standard in terms of hygiene.
I’d suggest showering back at the hotel and perhaps having lunch in the city center rather than at the pool restaurant.

Weekend in Siwa
I had an absolutely wonderful time in Siwa, the experience was amazing. The scenery and atmosphere was incredible and a great escape from the buzz of Cairo! We also experienced some of the best food we’ve had in Egypt so far, with delicious local dishes everyday
Our guide Amr was super friendly, takes great photos, and is all around great company to have on our trip! He is also a wonderful driver which made the long drivers super comfortable! 100% would recommend taking the time to travel out to Siwa with him

Amr's Amazing Tour
We had an incredible time on the Siwa Adventure! Amr was THE BEST tour guide, he was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, funny and catered to our every need. I've done many tours around the world and this was one of the best experiences I've had thanks to Amr. He even woke up early as we requested to see the sunrise on the last day and he showed up with a coffee ready to go! We booked the group tour but had a private tour the whole time, a brand new car to collect us for the long drive over. The meals we had in Siwa were far better than anything we had had in Cairo and we got to experience such a variety of foods. The mix of history and fun activities were perfect, I particularly loved swimming at all the different spots - natural hot pools, warm crystal clear springs and floating in the salt lake. The 4wd Safari was a blast and was great being out in the desert. Can't recommend enough!

Wonderful trip. Hany was an amazing guide!
Really amazing trip in a very special part of Egypt. Our guide, Hany, was exceptional and really looked after us the entire time. Very thankful we chose this private tour, as it gave us the flexibility to spend time in the places that we wanted to, and to shape parts of the excursion as we went. The adventure through the desert on the second day was a lot of fun and had a very special end with fireside tea and fruit while watching the sunset. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to see a very special part of Egypt.

Siwa experience
It was wayyy more than advertised. The desert experience was beyond what I imagined. But frankly our tour guide Achmed made this experience the awesome and wonderful not to mention educational that it was. To be honest, his knowledge of the history along the way, is propensity to safety we're some of the factors that made to tour what it was. If this is an example of you company then I will HIGHLY recommend it. Please convey my thank you to him

Unforgettable adventure with a top guide
The 4-day tour to the Siwa Oasis was perfectly organized and left nothing to be desired. We really enjoyed the time and can highly recommend this tour. Our guide Amn was very caring and let us know a lot about country & people. All in all a particularly nice travel experience!

Best time ever in Siwa
We booked a 3-day trip to Siwa and had the best experience ever! The city is absolutely beautiful and we loved going to the desert and seeing the salt lakes. The nature there is really breathtaking. Our guide, Ahmed Farahat was absolutely amazing and knew the best spots to enjoy and took care of all of our needs. The hotel was also very nice and even had a pool and a hot spring. Also the food was soo good and we ate so much. We can 100% recommend this experience. If possible, you should book the 4-day trip because there are so many beautiful things to see in Siwa.
