The experience

The tour starts from your Siwa hotel in a 4x4 Land Cruiser and heads straight to the Great Sand Sea for dune bashing and sandboarding across the dunes. After the driving and boarding, you'll swim in a cold lake, then move to the natural hot spring: water that rises from 1,000 meters deep in the desert floor. As the sun sets, you'll drink Siwan tea and eat snacks while watching the light fade over the sand.

Once darkness falls, the group heads to the hot spring camp for another swim under the stars, a quiet moment in the heart of the desert before the drive back to your hotel. The entire experience runs four hours from pickup to return. Bottled water, tea, coffee and snacks are included throughout. A guide fluent in English, Spanish, Italian, French or another language travels with you. The tour suits all fitness levels and welcomes children from age one, with infant seats available if needed.
