Siwa Oasis & White Desert from Hurghada
A Siwa Oasis and White Desert tour from Hurghada is the ultimate expedition for travelers who want to trade the Red Sea’s coral reefs for the raw, mystical beauty of the Sahara.
This journey across Egypt’s Western Desert is a multi-day adventure into some of the most remote and surreal landscapes on Earth.
The Hidden Gem of Siwa Oasis
Deep in the desert near the Libyan border lies Siwa Oasis, a place where time seems to have stood still.
The highlight of any Siwa tour is floating in the emerald-green Salt Lakes, where the high salt concentration makes you buoyant.
You will also explore the ancient mud-brick ruins of Shali Fortress and visit the Temple of the Oracle, the historic site where Alexander the Great was proclaimed a god.
A dip in Cleopatra’s Bath, a natural sulfur spring, offers a refreshing break under the shade of thousands of palm trees.
The Surreal White Desert Safari
The second half of this expedition takes you through the Bahariya Oasis and into the White Desert National Park.
This area is famous for its wind-carved chalk formations that look like giant mushrooms and arctic icebergs rising from the sand.
Most trips include a stop at the volcanic Black Desert and the glittering Crystal Mountain.
The experience peaks with a night of camping under the stars, where the white limestone glows under the moonlight, creating a truly otherworldly atmosphere.
Logistics and Planning
Because of the vast distance, a private desert tour from Hurghada typically spans 3 to 4 days and often includes a transfer or flight through Cairo.
