About Siwa Oasis
Why travellers fall for Siwa Oasis
Remote and magical, Siwa is a world of turquoise salt lakes, natural springs, mud-brick fortresses and the endless dunes of the Great Sand Sea.
Close to the Libyan border, Siwa has kept its own Amazigh language, crafts and rhythm of life for centuries. Date palms and olive groves surround the ruins of the Shali fortress, while hot and cold springs bubble up between the gardens.
Float weightlessly in a salt lake so dense you cannot sink, visit the Oracle of Amun where Alexander the Great came for answers, and watch sunset from Fatnas Island before heading into the Great Sand Sea by 4x4.
