West of the Nile stretches an immense desert, dotted with green oases and landscapes that seem to come from another planet. This is the Egypt of adventurers, far from the classic circuits. Our stays take you there with transfers, accommodation and a guide.
The Siwa oasis
Near the Libyan border, Siwa is an oasis of palm trees, salt lakes and clear springs, with a unique Berber culture.
- The cold spring and the so-called "Cleopatra's baths".
- Sunset from the Shali fortress.
- The Mountain of the Dead (Gabal al-Mawta) and its tombs.
- The Temple of the Oracle, which Alexander the Great is said to have consulted.
