Next, set off for a thrilling 4x4 dune ride through the Siwa desert and refreshingly swim in the famous Siwa salt lakes. You’ll also visit Cleopatra’s Spring, a natural stone pool with crystal-clear water. Relax with fresh fruit juice while admiring the stunning palm oasis around you.
After a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, head further into the desert to explore hot springs and cold lakes. Experience the excitement of a dune drive across the Siwa Great Sand Sea and witness an unforgettable sunset. You’ll also have the option to try sandboarding on the highest dune, followed by enjoying Siwan tea and nuts. Wrap up the day with a delicious BBQ dinner at your lodge before retiring to your tent or room for the night.
