Must to do in Egypt - I don't even know where to start. I had an incredible time in Siwa. Our driver Mohamed was an amazing person and will help you with anything and give you information about almost everything. Ahmed was the craziest tour guide ever. We had incredible memories with them. Sandboarding in the desert, enjoying Arabic music, watching the incredible sunset and floating on the magnificent salt lake. If you are going to Egypt you should definitely take this tour and especially ask for Mohamed and Ahmed. I was in Egypt for about a month and it was the best 3 days I spent. Of course, having the person I love with me added a different beauty in this tour.
We love you and miss you Mohamed and Ahmed
Sincerely
Nazli and Mustafa :)

Great from start to finish - The highlight of our trip to Egypt.
The whole team was very professional.
They came to pick us up at 5:00AM at our hotel in Giza. Very punctual. The road from Siwa to Cairo and back is long (~10 hours) but thanks to the driver Mohamed who did everything he could to make us confortable (drinks, snacks, bathroom break) it flew by fast.
Once we arrived we where greeted by Aymin and had a first amazing meal in Siwa before going for the visits of Cold and Hot Springs and some really fun (and fast!) Desert Safari followed by sandboard on the dunes. We ended our day by a tea break and food in the desert with a small camp fire. Throughout the afternoon our guide Hassan made sure everyone was confortable and gave us lots of insights on the Siwan desert. We ended the day at the Hot Springs camp with a nice dinner.
Second day we were given a tour of Siwa with Boubakr who was a very knowledgeable guide and had answer to all of our questions. The story of Siwa as explained by our guide was fascinating and we learned a lot about the landmarks and habits of Siwan people through the visits of Oracle Temple, Mountain of the Dead and so much more. After the guided tour we headed to the famous salt lakes for a swim which was amazing and went back to the Cleopatra Bath for lunch. Ended the day with a dinner in the city center and back to our hotel.
Third day was already time to go back to Cairo with amazing memories of all time spent in Siwa the amazing people we met. Would definitely recommend taking this tour with Touritos. Thanks again to the whole team for the kindness Aymin, Hassan, Mohammed, Boubakr and all the others who made our 3 days and unforgivable experience we will never forget.

You should go. - This was really a wonderful experience overall. I can't recommend it enough. The travel company was great and very communicative starting two days before the trip began. Places they take you are wonderful, and the local tour guides are brilliant and insightful. It is a very full trip, so be prepared for a full schedule. Extremely safe environment from the pickup to the drop off, even for solo travelers. Lots of tourists in Siwa so one never feels like an outsider. The car ride was quite hot in the backseat since the a/c didn't quite reach the backseat passengers. Beautiful people, beautiful culture, beautiful experience. Don't hesitate to do this trip. I would do it again (and might!).

The great experience in Siwa - Siwa is an amazing tourist spot in Egypt! It has the unique history, cultural landscape, the spring, the hot spring, the salted lake and the amazing desert. Not only these attractive points but also the kindness and friendly Siwa people surprise me. You will never find the tourist spot in Egypt which offer very reasonable price for the local souvenirs. The private tour package is well designed and organized. You can fully enjoy Siwa and discover this oasis. What made me unforgettable experience is the safari and salted lake! During safari, tour guide Ayman let me try sand board along a big slope and I really enjoyed it. Besides, I saw the fox after the sand board. The blue of the salted lake also surprised me with its light blue! It was a really great journey that I will recommend.

Destination not to miss out… - We had fabulous experiences in Siwa. Siwa is very reach in history and wonders which you dont want to miss out. We enjoyed every activity and tour on our 3 day package. Going with a 19 month toddler was a worry at the start but it turned out to be fulfilling and unforgettable moments for the entire family.
The safari couldn’t be more amazing than what we experienced…very experienced drivers, funny and enjoyable turns..thanks to Ayman and the drivers for the experience., this can not go without appreciating the wonders of the salt lakes…🙏
Site visits in Siwa and the amazing sunset views was amazing..thanks to Abu Bakari and his amazing son Mohamad for the detailed explanations and guide…we really enjoyed.
All these could not be possible without the kind heart, amazing and cool drive from and back to Cairo by our driver Mostafa. He is so lovely and a great driver you need to ask this company @Cairo Vallera Tours.
One advice for improvement will be on the camping site. Organizers can do better by informing visitors on what to expect and what to bring…things like mosquito repellents, a flash light, etc. Also it can add more value by having simple mattresses on the floor..
Apart from that minor setback, the rest of the tour was amazing…worth the 3 days time off your busy schedule..we loved it… and we will for sure plan for another visit inshallah..👌🙏

Magical three days in Siwa 🌴 - Words cannot describe how magical those three days in Siwa were - the definite highlight of our trip to Egypt. Thanks to Hassan and Ayman we surely saw the most beautiful sundowns, only had amazing food in the coziest restaurants and slept in natural but elegant surroundings. Both rides - back and forth - were fast and as pleasant as such long car journeys can be. Ayman stopped whenever we needed a break and even let us decide on the music. We independently decided about the pickup time for our journey back to Cairo. In Siwa Hassaan picked us up after one of the most amazing lunches we had in Egypt. From then on he made sure nothing was missing - we loved the lodge we slept at as well as the camp for the second night. Besides our hosts hospitality of course the salt lakes, dune bashing and sandboarding in the Sahara were unique and unforgettable. Not less than that we enjoyed the Siwa tour and climbing the old fortress in the morning. A few side notes: after reading the reviews carefully we were afraid there might be not enough food and we would end up hungry. That was never the case - in fact every meal was perfectly timed and especially on the Siwa day we were stuffed! There is really nothing to complain about. If you want to visit Siwa we strongly recommend to do it with Hassan as he will show you the loveliest spots for a reasonable price. The only thing that could be improved is giving more clues about the timing. For instance when you’re left alone in a restaurant or a historical sight I think it would be easier for both parties to simply announce the expected time to leave the place again. Then it wouldn’t be necessary to check on us. But that is really just a minor thought.
We will never forget this place full of stunning nature, views, people and history - and be back with Hassan for sure! 🙏

Amazing trip however read my comments - We went on this trip and I would totally recommend it to everyone up for an adventure, the views and experience the trip gives you is absolutely amazing.
However there are a few things that you should be aware of before going.
We booked the trip due to the salt lakes and the picture in the add looks absolutely amazing, we saw everything else as a bonus in the program. Anyway the salt lake does not look like the picture, however the salt lakes was still an good experience and we talked with the responsible about why we did not got to see the place in the picture and they explained the reason for us. The area changes from times to times due to the salt industry in the area. I think that’s good to know before going, to know what you can expect on the trip and that it might look totally different from the photos you see before.
Our driver Waleed was amazing during the whole trip and very attentive to us and our wellbeing. We had lots of fun during the trip and the long drive from Cairo felt less with his company. If you get him as your driver you’re more then lucky!
The time spent in the desert was absolutely amazing and the views will be a memory for life.
A recommendation for the hungry ones are to bring some own protein bars/nuts/etc to fill out between the meals, I would not call this trip “all inclusive” in the food category.
A trip that you must do to save to your memory bank for life.
