    More about this tour
    In a vehicle
    Two long road days, Alexandria to Siwa and Siwa back to Cairo
    At the sites
    A full day in Alexandria and two full days in Siwa
    Format
    Private
    Best time
    October to April, when the desert days are warm rather than hot

    Our tip: Two unhurried days in Siwa, at the end of the coast road. The UK government's travel advice names Siwa and the Marsa Matruh road as exceptions to its Western Desert warning, and this route uses that road.
