Siwa Oasis Desert Safari

What makes Siwa special is that the desert is deeply connected with the oasis. On the same trip, tourists will be able to visit sand dunes, salt lakes, natural springs and farmlands, thus enjoying varied scenery, not just one single endless sand desert.

Another reason why a desert safari is easy to combine with visiting Siwa itself is the unique local culture and history of the oasis. Tourists will have the opportunity to discover both the natural aspects and the local traditions of the oasis.

For anyone planning an Egypt desert safari, Siwa offers an experience centred on the relationship between desert, water, and oasis life.

One of the most common ways of exploring the region is by traveling in a 4x4 vehicle. Traveling by car takes tourists away from the oasis and into the desert, where sand dunes offer an entirely new environment from that of the agricultural region of Siwa.

The ever-changing nature of the sand dunes makes the trip very interesting, especially when moving through the sandy regions around the oasis. The trip can also involve making stops in some picturesque places in order to take pictures.

Sand Dune Adventure

With the huge dunes, an adventurous desert trip becomes perfect. Depending on which safari trail the visitors choose to follow, sandboarding can be enjoyed by some or just driving across the sandy desert.

The desert near Siwa is intimately related to water. While the oasis is well-known for its salt lakes, it is natural springs that form water areas amidst the surrounding terrain.

Salt lakes are especially eye-catching since they provide an interesting contrast between the clear blue waters of the lakes and the surrounding desert. For some tourists, it is a place to visit while on a safari tour to take a rest and swim, if allowed.

The springs provide yet another dimension of Siwa nature experience.

Sunset time is among the most exciting parts of a desert safari in Siwa Oasis. With the gradual shift of the sun from where it was, there is an eventual transformation of color of the sand making for a beautiful backdrop of the dunes.

Watching the sunset in the desert provides tourists with an opportunity to see Siwa in a totally different environment from where all the activities are usually happening, making it a memorable experience to include in Egypt Tours.
