Cairo
Day 1-3
Day 1: Having all arrived in Cairo at least the day before, we start our journey, exploring the highlights of the Giza Plateau. First stop is the Dahshour Pyramid, to learn about its uniqueness and mystery. We continue in the main temples of Saqqara and finish the day visiting the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx, an unforgettable day. Day 2: We continue this day in Cairo, visiting the Egyptian Museum, where all the most important reliquaries of Ancient Egypt are kept, including the mask and sarcophagus of Tutankhamun. We also take a tour in the Coptic area of Cairo, a place of significant importance for Western civilization. Just in time we'll get our private felucca boat for a memorable sunset sailing the Nile River. After dinner we start our night drive to Siwa oasis on a private mini bus.

Day 3: After check-in at the hotel and taking a moment to recover from the trip, we head to some of the landmarks of Siwa: the fresh water spring Ain Juba, the ruins of Ammun Temple and the Oracle of Siwa, visited by Alexander the Great. We'll enjoy a beautiful sunset view and head to the hotel for dinner.

Siwa Oasis
Day 6
Day 4: We continue exploring Siwa: Shelly fortress, Mountain of the Dead, and the spectacular salt pools. We'll stroll under date palm trees, also an opportunity to learn more about the local life. We'll have a special dinner and enjoy a wonderful hot water spring before bed. Day 5: Into the Sahara we drive, more precisely into the Great Sea of Sand. We'll stop by fresh and hot water springs while contouring dunes, chasing fossils in what used to be the bottom of the ocean and sinking into the immensity of the desert. We dine and camp in the sand dunes tonight, an experience to remember.

Day 6
Day 6: The ride from the dunes back into Siwa starts after breakfast and once there, we'll refresh ourselves in a fresh water spring. We’ll have lunch and explore a bit more the city, the handcrafts and traditional embroidery, and head for the last oasis sunset - and the last of our journey - in Fatnas island, just stunning. After dinner in the city, we head back to the hotel to get ready for our overnight drive back to Cairo, where we say our farewells and best wishes.
