Your Journey
Siwa Tour
Mystical Egypt – An Retreat into the Magic of the Sahara
Destination Overview
Hidden treasure of the Sahara, the Siwa oasis reveals its lush palm groves, its sparkling salt lakes and its ancient ruins. An invitation to alternative and ecotourism, in the respect of local traditions. But the adventure continues beyond, in the White Desert of Farafra, where surreal rock formations and immaculate dunes offer a total immersion in the magic of the Sahara. Your refuge: the Adrere Amellal, jewel of Egyptian hospitality, where luxury is experienced by candlelight, without electricity. A total disconnection to explore, like Alexander the Great, the splendors of Siwa and the mysteries of the desert.
