Day 1: Travel to Siwa and Light Exploration
Start your trip early from Alexandria at around 6:00 AM. The drive to Siwa Oasis takes approximately 8 to 9 hours. It is recommended to take a short break in Marsa Matrouh for rest or a quick meal. Arrive in Siwa in the afternoon. Check into your hotel and take some time to relax after the long journey. In the late afternoon, visit Shali Fortress, the historic center of Siwa. Walk through its old mud-brick ruins and narrow pathways to understand the traditional architecture and history of the oasis. After that, head to Fatnas Island to watch the sunset. This spot offers a peaceful view of palm trees and salt lakes, making it one of the best places for a quiet evening. Have dinner at your hotel or a local restaurant and rest early.
