After a refreshing breakfast at your accommodation, begin your Day 2 adventure with a visit to the legendary Temple of the Oracle (also known as Alexander the Great Temple). This iconic site is where Alexander the Great traveled across the vast desert to seek confirmation from the oracle of Siwa, assuring him that he was the divine son of Zeus.

Steeped in historical significance, the temple offers not only a glimpse into Egypt’s ancient past but also incredible panoramic views of the lush Siwa Oasis, surrounded by palm groves and salt flats. It’s an excellent spot for photos and to soak in the tranquil atmosphere.

Next, we’ll head to the famous Salt Lake of Siwa, where you’ll experience a truly unique and unforgettable swim. The water of the lake is hyper-saline, which allows you to float effortlessly on the surface, similar to the world-renowned Dead Sea. The salt content of the lake offers natural therapeutic benefits and leaves your skin feeling rejuvenated. Be sure to drink plenty of fresh water after your swim to rinse off the salt and hydrate your body.

Following the salt lake, you’ll visit Cleopatra’s Bath, a natural spring that has been attracting visitors for centuries. The legend suggests that Queen Cleopatra herself once bathed in the soothing waters of this spring. The site is a serene, peaceful location surrounded by nature, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and reflection.

From there, proceed to the Temple of Amun (also known as Umm Ubaydah Temple), a historic site dating back to the 30th Dynasty of ancient Egypt. Though much of the temple is in ruins due to the passage of time, the remaining structures provide valuable insights into Egyptian religious practices and the role of Siwa Oasis in ancient Egyptian culture. The Temple of Amun is an important archaeological site, adding another layer of depth to the rich history of the oasis.

By noon, you’ll enjoy a delicious traditional Siwan lunch at Abdo Restaurant, one of Siwa’s most renowned eateries. The restaurant serves fresh local dishes, allowing you to taste the authentic flavors of the oasis, including dishes made with dates, olives, and locally grown herbs. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and indulge in a meal that perfectly represents the culinary traditions of Siwa.

In the afternoon, prepare for an adrenaline-packed adventure as we take you on a 4×4 desert safari across the stunning Great Sand Sea, one of Egypt’s most expansive and awe-inspiring desert landscapes. The vast dunes stretch as far as the eye can see, and the thrill of navigating through the dunes is an experience you won’t forget. For those looking for a bit of adventure, the sandboarding experience is an absolute highlight. Glide down the towering dunes and feel the rush of excitement as you take in the surreal beauty of the desert.

A visit to Bir Waheed follows, where you’ll have the opportunity to relax and soak in the warm waters of a natural hot and cold spring. The hot spring is perfect for rejuvenating tired muscles after the exhilarating desert safari. Enjoy a peaceful moment in this natural oasis surrounded by the dramatic desert landscape.

As the day winds down, we’ll stop to enjoy a traditional Bedouin tea while you watch the stunning sunset over the Great Sand Sea. The soft golden light of the setting sun casts a magical glow across the sand dunes, creating a peaceful and awe-inspiring atmosphere. This is a perfect moment for reflection, relaxation, and taking in the sheer beauty of the desert.

Your evening will be spent in a desert camp, where you can indulge in a BBQ dinner under the stars, surrounded by the stillness of the desert. The camp provides an authentic Bedouin experience, with traditional food, music, and the opportunity to connect with fellow travelers. If you prefer more comfort, you can opt to stay at one of the Ecolodges in Siwa, offering cozy accommodations and a peaceful environment for a restful night.
