The Siwa oasis is one of the Western Desert’s most magical areas, but it’s more than an 8-hour drive from Cairo. Say no to hellish bus journeys and yes to the comfort of your own private vehicle with rest stops, snack breaks, and a guide. Explore the Great Sand Sea by 4WD, with dune bashing, sandboarding, and a desert sunset; see salt lakes, ancient ruins, Fatnis Island, and more.

I stayed in Egypt for 8 days and out of everything we did this was genuinely the highlight of my trip. Eslam was such a good and friendly tour guide that helped make the experience. The Siwa Oasis was surreal, but my favorite part was definitely our desert trip. Driving in the desert, sandboarding, smoking hookah and I had never seen so many stars at once. If you have the time I encourage you to go to Siwa with Eslam, I promise it’s worth your while.

Had an amazing time with Eslam , he was such an accommodating tour manager, but we ended up becoming friends and made our siwa trip more memorable . And the itinerary was well planned considering the weather throughout out day like starting early for fort and little hike , then followed by salt lake , cleopatra lake and then hot spring later in night after the sunset and desert safari during the sunset Thanks ! Highly recommend!

It was a really fun tour with lots of activities: desert safari, salt lake, local sightseeings (prepare for a little hike!). We especially enjoyed swimming in the salt lake and the hot springs under the stars:) The food was also good, the best local restaurants!

In January, I travelled with Eslam from Oracle Tours Egypt on an incredible 3-day journey from Cairo to the Siwa Oasis, and it was truly one of the most memorable travel experiences I’ve ever had. Eslam drove me over 10 hours through the desert with professionalism, patience, and great conversation along the way. Once in Siwa, Eslam made sure everything was perfectly organised — from exploring the salt lakes, where I had the amazing experience of swimming and floating in the crystal-clear water, to watching breathtaking sunsets over the lakes. He also arranged an unforgettable desert safari in the Great Sand Sea, which was a real highlight, full of adventure and stunning scenery. Eslam was friendly, knowledgeable, and always made sure I was comfortable and enjoying every part of the trip. His attention to detail and passion for showing the beauty of Egypt made this journey something truly special. If you’re thinking about visiting Siwa or exploring Egypt beyond the usual tourist spots, I can’t recommend Eslam and Oracle Tours enough. You’ll be in great hands!

From the moment we met Eslam, I could tell we were in great hands. He didn’t just guide us through Siwa, he brought it to life. What could have been a simple tour turned into one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had. Eslam is the kind of guide who instantly makes you feel comfortable. He is friendly, easy to talk to, and genuinely cares about everyone in the group. It felt more like traveling with a friend who knows every hidden gem and story in the desert than being on a formal tour. He shared so many interesting details about Siwa’s history, culture, and people, but what stood out most was how much love and pride he has for the place. You can feel it in the way he tells stories and the way he lights up when you ask questions. We got to see spots most tourists would probably miss, and that made it all the more special. Eslam also paid attention to every little thing, whether it was checking if we had enough water, finding the perfect place for photos, or adjusting plans when the group needed a break. You could tell he wanted everyone to have the best possible time. What really made him stand out was his personality. He is funny, full of good energy, and somehow keeps everyone smiling even on long drives through the desert. Between the laughter, the stories, and the stunning views, there was never a dull moment. By the end of the trip, it didn’t feel like we were saying goodbye to a tour guide. It felt like saying goodbye to a new friend. If you are thinking about booking this tour, do it, and hope you get Eslam as your guide. He made Siwa feel magical, and I will always be grateful for that experience.

My solo journey from Cairo to Siwa Oasis was nothing short of magical. As a female traveler, I felt completely secure thanks to my incredibly trustworthy guides, who ensured my comfort and safety at every step. The experience was a highlight reel of wonders: from the charm of Siwa Village and the shimmering salt lakes to the soothing hot springs, and a breathtaking desert sunrise. The entire trip was truly memorable; my only regret is that I couldn't stay longer!

We had an amazing trip to Siwa Oasis with Mahmoud! He’s a fantastic guide who made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire journey, and he took care of every detail. The drive there and back was safe and comfortable, the hotel was wonderful, and all the activities were excellent—but the desert experience was truly unforgettable. Highly recommend Mahmoud for anyone planning a trip to Siwa!
