Your WOW TOURS EGYPT guide will be waiting for you inside Alexandria Port or outside the main gate, depending on port procedures, holding a sign with your name.

Depart early in the morning and journey deep into Egypt’s magnificent Western Desert. Along the way, watch the scenery gradually transform from fertile farmland to vast open landscapes before the first palm groves of Siwa appear on the horizon—a welcome sight that has greeted travelers crossing the desert for centuries.

After approximately seven hours, arrive at the enchanting Siwa Oasis, where countless date palms, natural springs, and tranquil surroundings create a striking contrast to the endless desert beyond. Following a smooth hotel check-in, enjoy a delicious lunch before beginning your first exploration of this remarkable oasis.

As the afternoon unfolds, make your way to the beautiful Fatnas Island, one of Siwa’s most peaceful and scenic locations. Relax with a traditional cup of Siwan mint tea while watching the sun slowly disappear beyond the palm groves, as the calm waters mirror the changing colors of the sky and the gentle breeze carries the rustling of palm leaves through the evening air.

Later, continue to the lively Siwa Souk, where the authentic spirit of the oasis comes to life. Wander through its charming streets lined with small family-owned shops selling locally produced olive oil, dates, herbal teas, spices, handmade baskets, embroidered textiles, silver jewelry, and many other traditional Siwan handicrafts. More than a place to shop, the souk offers a wonderful opportunity to experience the relaxed rhythm of everyday life and the genuine hospitality for which the Siwan people are known.

After enjoying dinner, return to your hotel for a restful overnight stay in the heart of Siwa Oasis.
