About Siwa Oasis

Siwa Oasis City sits deep within the Great Sand Sea, providing a green refuge from the vast desert dunes. Thousands of palm trees grow around natural springs and shimmering salt lakes. Local Berber people live here, maintaining their own beautiful language and traditions. You can explore the old mud-brick town or swim in clear pools today. It feels like stepping back into a very simple and ancient time.


People searching for Egypt Tour packages frequently visit this area to find a different kind of desert holiday. This remote town provides a chance to see historic temples and climb old stone ruins. You will find that life moves at a very slow pace under the bright sun right now. Visiting the local date groves and salt pans makes every trip to this oasis very special for families.


About Tickets / Entry Fees:

There is no entry fee to visit Siwa Oasis because it is a city. Some attractions like the Oracle Temple or Cleopatra’s Spring may charge small local fees, usually between AED 5 to AED 15 per person, depending on the site.
