An Unmissable Adventure - Our trip to Siwa was the highlight of our Egyptian vacation. Everything was perfectly coordinated with a variety of memorable activities: salt lakes, sandboarding, safari, delicious food, and the bustling bazaar with unbeatable prices. A unique highlight was the rare opportunity to feed fennec foxes in the desert, adding a magical touch to our journey. Despite the distance, Siwa was absolutely worth it. Transport arrangements were comfortable, and our guide, Mo Tolba, played a pivotal role in ensuring every moment was nothing short of amazing. His dedication and enthusiasm truly enriched our trip. Accommodations were excellent too. If you're considering a trip, this is an absolute must-do.

Tour incrível ao Oasis de Siwa - Sem dúvida que a viagem ao Egipto ficou mais enriquecedora com a tour ao Siwa Oásis. Não poderíamos ter tido melhor companhia do que o guia Mo Tolda para tirar o máximo partido desta experiência. Desde o início mostrou-se muito prestável e atencioso connosco, sempre disponível para nos ajudar em qualquer situação e mostra o melhor que o Oásis de Siwa tem para oferecer. Com ele sentimo-nos sempre seguras (eu e mais 2 amigas), em todo o lado em que passávamos. O motorista Ahmed também foi muito gentil e simpático. Apesar do trajeto ser um pouco longo, a viagem na carrinha foi muito confortável, com ar condicionado e boas condições. A comida também era bastante agradável, com refeições muito completas. Relativamente ao hotel, surpreendeu-me muito pela positiva. Quarto com AC, espaçoso, limpo e hotel com piscina bem cuidada. Todas as pessoas receberam-nos muito bem. No primeiro dia desfrutámos de um pôr do sol magnífico, acompanhado por sumo de fruta natural e, nessa noite, mergulhámos no oásis hot spring com água a 35°C. O dia seguinte foi bastante recheado, conseguimos ver e usufruir de várias coisas com calma e tranquilidade. Visitámos o Oracle Temple, a piscina da Cleópatra, os lagos salgados de Siwa e o Deserto. À tarde ainda deu para aproveitarmos a piscina do hotel. Para mim, o que mais se destacou foi visitar os lagos salgados e o deserto (andar de carro 4x4). No deserto, depois da aventura de adrenalina que apreciei bastante, vimos novamente o pôr do sol ao redor de uma fogueira, com fruta da época. Posto isto, esta experiência foi sem dúvida imprescindível.

It was a wonderful trip! - I also recommend this to Japanese tourists! I went alone, but the driver/guide and everyone I met there provided me with a fulfilling three days. I fell in love with Siwa! I'd like to come back someday. I think it's calmer and safer than Cairo.

The best tour ever - Tolva, who is the best guide in Egypt and all his friends met during this tour (One is MahmoudI) made my time in Siwa perfectly happy. Even though my English is a bit poor, they tried to help me every time. I really appreciate them. Thank you.

An amazing experience - An amazing tour with Eslam who was a perfect guide all the time and a very good photographer!! We discovered an amazing city, a great hotel, beautiful landscapes, very nice people and delicious food and tea ! Even is the road is long, it is worth it. We visited very interesting places, swam in salt lakes with beautiful colors, rode in the dunes with Mahmoud, made sandboarding and even saw a little fox of the desert. We loved our time in Siwa with Luxury Tours Egypt and would surely do it again. A special thanks to Eslam who made this experience even more wonderful !

Unique experience in Siwa - We visited beautiful Siwa oasis all around for 2 full days. I picked this 4 days trip because I was traveling with my teens and friends. I didn't want a tight schedule since it takes 9 hours from Cairo. Traveling 9 hours to Siwa was a bit of challenge but it was worth to visit! We loved the visit Sahara dessert. Driving on the dessert and sand boarding was fantastic! Swimming in the salt lake was something else as well. Siwa oasis is a beautiful city built on a dessert with lots of historical places to visit. Visit to siwa was really an unique experience. I am very happy that I decided to go.

Hello... - Hello We did our trip with Eslam - the driver and Aya - our tour guide (4-6th may) I am very grateful for experience this trip with these 2, they made it an unforgettable experience, very very nice and young vibe people. Regarding the journey, it’s a very long one +/- 8h route. Eslam drives very well, if you prefer a quite ride, you can close your eyes, rest and trust his driving skills OR if you prefer a more entertained ride, you can talk and clarify all your questions with Aya - she will be happy to share all of her knowledge- which is a lot. They will stop the journey whenever needed for food supplies/toilet/whatsover. They ask you if you prefer to stop on the Mediterranean city on the way to Siwa or the reverse. I recommend to stop on the way to Siwa as on your return you will be tired and not so motivated. You don’t spend much time on that city. Just having lunch on the city center and then a 30 min walk by the beach. About Siwa, it’s such a great experience to see closely how a “primitive” civilization is living nowadays and the history of the place, it’s speechless, the sights are breathtaking and everything will be explained to you, from the little detail to the passage of Alexandre The Great there. The salt bath is a bit cold and although the salt lakes are wonderful, the place where they are is a bit sloppy so, measure your expectations. You travel through the places on a tuktuk, which I think is very funny - with natural AC, the feeling of the wind in your face, so cool. The icing on the cake was the desert safari where we had the opportunity to feed the white foxes of the desert. In terms of accommodation, as it was the beginning of the summer, they proposed as if we prefered to stay the 2 nights in the lodge as mosquito season started… Food wise, I liked the food tbh but I suggest you start taking stomach protector from day 1 cause it will be typical food, so, out organism is not used to and I unfortunately had food poisoning And let me create some awareness about the tipping system, if you enjoyed each trip/experience during the tour, they use the expression “tip appreciated” but I would put more in terms “tip expected”. It was the only down of the trip cause we were not considering that budget. During all the time, Aya was almost a life guide, she was making sure we did not leave anything behind, that we weee having a good time, paid attention to food request, very good conversations, taking as many pictures as we want… I felt I was having time with a friend and not a tour guide, an excellent customer service. She even kept in touch with us afterwards to advice me on some book’s recommendations!! So, finally, I highly recommend this experience to go a bit out of the way ”typical turistic” things and if you get lucky and have Eslam and Aya, honest and serious people, your tour will be amazing by default. And Eslam even took us amazing pics and videos without us asking, full pack service.
