Siwa oasis trip
It was an excellent trip with Eslam. I booked for the shared tour, but at the end it was the private tour just for myself. Eslam is a professional, considerate guide. I really appreciate it.

AMAZING experience!!
This tour was amazing! It was absolutely beautiful and action packed with diverse and incredible views and things to do. Our tour guide, Eslam, was extremely personable, funny, and knowledgeable about Siwa. He answered all of our questions and went out of his way to make sure we had an amazing time! I definitely recommend this tour! It was one of the best weekends of my life!

A must go experience
Make the right decision and book this trip! Prior to Siwa, I had spent 10 days traversing Egypt, making my way to all the monumental sites in Cairo, Luxor, and Hurghada. None of these experiences compared to my time in Siwa. Khaled picked me and my two travel companions at our hotel in the AM. The car was a normal, unmarked sedan, so trust the process! Khaled was wonderfully welcoming and hilarious! He made us feel right at home and became fast friends with us! The seven hour drive went by quickly jamming to music, telling jokes, and gnawing on food provided by the tour. We ended up meeting with another traveler and tour guide, Mahmoud later on in the day. Mahmoud was equally fantastic! We had lunch about halfway through. The ride was kind of bumpy the closer we got to Siwa, but Khaled and Mahmoud navigated it perfectly! We arrived at Siwa at sunset. When I say it was one of the most magical experiences I have ever had, I mean it. They took us to a phantasmagorical lake front surrounded by palm trees and beautiful Arabic fabric. Pictures do not do it justice. We talked and drank Siwa juice comprised of dares, banana, milk, and coffee. It was delicious. We were then brought to an amazing dinner where we got to know one another better and dine on the most amazing food. We made our way to the Panta Lodge, which was beyond picturesque. It was absolutely stunning, which I later realized is how everywhere in Siwa looked. We smoked some shisha and drank delicious mint and lemon tea. The next day, we woke up and ate a wonderful breakfast. We then drove via rickshaw to the mountain of the dead, the oracle, and some other amazing spaces. All were remarkably beautiful and so different than any of the prominent sites located in places I had visited in Egypt. We then drove to the salt mountains and pools. They were again beyond beautiful. We floated in the water and drank tea as we floated. Bodies of water are healing, and this was pure elation for the soul. We cleaned ourself in the middle of the cleopatra Pool afterward and had an amazing lunch. We then got our things together and made our way to the desert. In the desert, we drove through the dunes. This was one of the most exhilarating experiences I have ever had! Everyone was having the time of their lives as we drove furiously up and down the mountains of sand. We made our way to a hill where we then sand-boarded, drank freshly made tea, and gazed at the stars. We adventured back to the campsite where we sat in the natural hot spring and connected with other travelers. We soaked and sang for a bit, drank tea, and sat at a campfire. Finally, we retired to bed in our tents. The next morning, we had breakfasts d played with puppies. We made our way back to town, shopped, and then made our way home. We got to the Ritz around 8pm and hugged our guides goodbye! I feel connected to all the people I met on this journey. We made inside jokes and learned about Egypt and Siwa. If you’re in Egypt and you don’t do this tour, you’re missing out on the heart of Egypt. This was the highlight of my 14 days in this wildly wonderful and feral country. Siwa was adventure, culture, and magic rolled into an experience that I can’t recommend highly enough! It was complete perfection with new friends in the most wondrous of places! My trip would have been incomplete without visiting Siwa.

Life changing experience
Mahmoud and Khaled were not only my tour guides but my brothers at the end of this tour. Honestly made some memories I’ll never forget with great people

Wonderfull x 100000
Where to start? This comment is dedicated to our guide Khaled who was incredible, and professional as well as to our Tuk Tuk driver in the name of Ashraf, of unfailing kindness who will lead you all day to carry out visits to the 4 corners of Siwa. My sister and I have never had a tourist experience as exceptional and positive as this one. You will find someone passionate, dedicated, and attentive to help you spend 3 incredible days. You will never lack for anything because Khaled will always surprise you with little touches. You will leave this tour with stars in your eyes and incredible photos that he knows how to take. Booked the same day for the next day without problem. I was only with my sister so a private tour which was very pleasant. We laughed and learned a lot during these 3 days.🫶 Ashraf and Khaled will then take you to discover the dirty lake, Temple of Death, 4x4 safari in the desert, handboard, campfires in the desert under the stars 🌟, Hot water spring in the middle of the night, Local meals, Juice fresh fruit galore and so on… I invite you to enjoy this unique experience. Do not hesitate to ask Khaled, promised, unimaginable to be disappointed Thank you for everything and these unforgettable memories. You can count on him for everything. We will come back next year with my entire family to relive this experience with Khaled Manon and Marine, France team 🇫🇷🫶

Best of the best
From the very beginning we were taken care of in every way possible, no need to worry about water, snacks etc. Our guide Khaled took care about every detail (if you can, request to be on a trip with him), knowing we are just after the flight without any breakfast he took us for local bread with vegetables which was delicious. Btw. we booked small group trip but ended having private one which was also nice:) The drive is long for sure but we were not only amazed by the routes that were well prepared (mostly highways) but also there were prepared for us in the car sun shields if we wanted to sleep and relax. We had few stops on which you can use the toilette. The amount of food you get this day for us was more than fine, so I don't know from were the comments came from. In the middle of the journey there is a stop in Matruh for a swimming if you want and lunch. Turquise water will amaze you for sure! After 10h we arrived to Siwa and started with safari trip to the desert. They have the best drivers who knows exactly the spots for Pictures, adrenaline rush, sandboarding and spot for sunset. At the end you move to the camping site to eat and swim in hot Springs. This was so relaxing and the food was really tasty. You can here decide if you want to spend the night at the tent as mentioned in the description or go to the hotel. We choose hotel as this was more comfortable option for us. The hotel is for sure not european standard but for 2 nigths more than fine. Please remember that not many tourists get there yet so this is fully egyptian style and this is simply part of the experience. There is swimming pool, place to eat where they can do the barbecue for you or just to drink tea. Also staying at hotel allowed us to leave all our baggages at the room for the next day which was really comfortable. Day 2 is sightseeing around Siwa and enjoying the salt lakes. They know the best spots so your pictures will be unique as the others stays in the first spots available with other people. They even allowed us to drive tuktuk by ourselves which was quite fun 🙂 After swimming they have prepared big bottle with sweet water so you can wash a bit and we went for lunch in amazing spot. The sunset spot was one of the most amazing ones I saw especially the palm trees that surround the sun and the bridge on which you can seat and relax with tasty juice. As a woman I felt perfectly safe there. The food is local but delicious and neither of us had issues so you don't have to worry about it too much. If you want to try local coffee shops, just mention it and they will take care of it. Expect local places rather then the touristy ones which can allow you to fully experience Siwa. If you have an option to go there, definitely choose this trip!

Incredible Siwa is OUTSTANDING
If you're visiting Egypt this tour is a must. Although an early rise and a long drive, it's so worthwhile. The reason Siwa is so special is because of the isolation from the rest of Egypt, its natural beauty is breathtaking. Boutique style hotel, clean and comfortable oozing character. The desert safari, the swim in the salt lakes, the tea and meals shared amongst locals were all unforgettable moments. Our driver in the dunes (the king of siwa) was amazing as he knew all the spots with the best views to helped us get the most memorable pictures. Mazen our guide was so knowledgeable, patient and interacting with us making sure the tour was seamless, 5 🌟 for you my friend together with Ashraf from the hotel that made this trip so memorable, we were treated like a family members. I sincerely hope to visit Siwa again.

Amazing expedition to the Siwa-Oasis
I booked the tour thinking I'd be travelling with a small group but ended up getting a private tour, as there were no other participants! Khaled was my tour guide and he did everything possible to make my trip as pleasant as possible. Always there with snacks, drinks and insightful information about the area or sights we looked at. If you are looking to escape the busy and traffic-packed Cairo, then Siwa is the place to visit: Floating on top of a salt-lake, eating delicious local food, blasting through sand-dunes on a 4x4 and sandboarding down the dunes were just some of the highlights of the tour. Thanks for taking such good care of me!

A trip to remember for many years
A trip of a lifetime! Eslam and Mazen were the best tour guides we can ask for. Not only was it fun and adventurous, we felt safe throughout the whole trip. Siwa is a paradise that cannot be described in words, it must be experienced! With the help of these two guides and the kind hearted people of Siwa, we had the most amazing time! I highly recommend!!

Best Tour Guides of Egypt!
Altogether one of the best trips I’ve ever done! Our guides Eslam and Mazen were really easy going, nice to talk to and, by showing us some of the most beautiful places in Egypt, made the trip fantastic. Everything about Siwa is beautiful, but the salt lakes and the desert safari were out-of-this-world experiences. If you have the chance to take this trip, do it.
