08 · Western Desert
An oasis at the edge of the Great Sand Sea.
Oasis × salt lakes × slow travel
Turquoise salt lakes you float in, the mud-brick fortress of Shali, the Oracle of Amun that Alexander came to consult — Siwa is Egypt at its most remote and most peaceful.
Stay in an eco-lodge built of salt and mud, swim in Cleopatra's Spring, and watch the sun set from Fatnas Island over the palm groves.
Highlights
Float in impossibly blue, mineral-rich pools.
The 13th-century mud-brick citadel at the heart of the oasis.
Where Alexander the Great was declared son of a god.
Dune drives and hot springs among the sand.
