Hubby and I have wanted to visit Egypt for ages but did not want to go as part of a large group. Found Egypt Best Vacations on Facebook and was impressed with the range of options available. We wanted to see as much of Egypt as possible and Egypt Best Vacations was great at helping us book the most suitable holiday for us at a reasonable price.
An awesome short 4 day trip for travelers wanting an authentic experience to explore ancient Egypt, with very informative and well known tour guides who were always helpful throughout the tour. Both Sara and Sami were great! Would recommend to anyone wanting to explore Egypt. A great experience!
Valley of Kings , Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple ,Felucca Ride in Aswan are very Good. Had wonderful time. The guide Mr.Essam Ali is Wonderful and Knowledgeable. He had taken very good care of us through our the trip at every place . We strongly recommend Mr.Essam Ali.
Great tour. Our guide Essam was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and articulated the tour well. Offering our group good advice on how to customize our tour based on our interests. He was sure to warn us on all potential scams aswell as unnecessary/non affiliated persons. He also went above by making our restaurant reservations for us.
We enjoyed our Egypt travels through Egypt Best Vacations. Essam is the best tour coordinator and guide one can find! I am so glad we found him because he made our trip memorable in so many ways! He was always able to make the tours fun by telling us stories of the past in engaging ways! He was always helpful and gave us honest guidance regarding all local experiences eg. How to behave with street vendors. You felt you could trust him and rely on him fully through the travel!
The most comfortable way to get from Siwa Oasis to Cairo is a private transfer: a door-to-door drive of around 750 kilometers in 8 to 9 hours, from your Siwa lodge directly to your hotel in Cairo or Giza or to Cairo International Airport. The alternative is the overnight public bus, which takes 9 hours or more with fixed departure times. A private Siwa to Cairo transfer departs whenever you choose and includes comfort stops along the way.
No. Siwa Oasis has no commercial airport and no train station, which is why private transfers are the most reliable way in and out of the oasis. The nearest airport is Marsa Matruh, about 300 kilometers away, a drive of roughly 3.5 to 4 hours. We provide private transfers between Siwa and Marsa Matruh Airport timed to your flight, as well as long-distance transfers to Cairo, Alexandria, and the North Coast.
Siwa’s attractions are spread across the oasis, and many lodges sit outside the town center, so a private car with driver is the easiest way to get around. Our transfers inside Siwa Oasis connect your hotel or ecolodge with the Shali Fortress, the Temple of the Oracle, Cleopatra’s Spring, the Mountain of the Dead, Fatnas Island, and the salt lakes. You can book point-to-point rides, transfers to remote ecolodges, or a full-day private car with driver built around your plan.
The drive from Siwa to Cairo takes about 8 to 9 hours, covering around 750 kilometers via the coastal road through Marsa Matruh. Your private transfer includes comfort stops along the way, and your professional driver knows the desert road and its checkpoints well. Departing early in the morning gets you to Cairo by late afternoon, and evening departures for night arrivals are also available.
Siwa Oasis is around 560 kilometers from Alexandria, a private transfer of roughly 6.5 to 7.5 hours along the coastal road via Marsa Matruh and El-Dabaa. It is a popular route for travelers combining the Western Desert with the Mediterranean: after the calm of the oasis, you can continue straight into Alexandria’s Greco-Roman treasures, with a lunch or coffee stop on the coast along the way.
Yes. The Siwa to Marsa Matruh transfer covers about 300 kilometers in 3.5 to 4 hours, taking you to Marsa Matruh Airport, the city center, or your beach hotel. We also run transfers from Siwa to El-Alamein and the North Coast, around 420 kilometers in 5 to 6 hours, serving the WWII memorials and resorts such as Marassi, Marina, and the new city of El Alamein — a favorite route in the summer season.
Sometimes, but not always. The direct Siwa to Bahariya desert road requires special security permits and a licensed 4×4 convoy, and it is not always open to travelers. We arrange this crossing on request when permits allow. When the direct road is unavailable, we plan the reliable alternative routing via the coastal road and Cairo, and can combine it with our Cairo and White Desert adventure tours. Contact us with your dates and we will confirm the current situation.
All our Siwa Oasis transfers are fully private and door-to-door. You travel in a modern air-conditioned car, minivan, or 4×4 with a professional driver, departing at the time you choose — there are no shared vehicles, fixed schedules, or extra pickups. Transfers are available every day of the year, at any hour, for solo travelers, couples, families, and groups.
Yes. The standard route from Siwa to Cairo runs along the paved coastal road via Marsa Matruh, a well-traveled highway used daily by buses, tour vehicles, and private cars. You will pass routine military checkpoints along the way, which is normal on Western Desert roads. Our professional drivers make this journey regularly, know the road and checkpoint procedures well, and our team supports you on WhatsApp throughout the trip.
Only for the desert. A regular air-conditioned car is perfectly fine for Siwa town and the main sites such as the Shali Fortress, the Temple of the Oracle, Cleopatra’s Spring, and the salt lakes. For destinations beyond the paved roads, including the Bir Wahed hot spring and the dunes of the Great Sand Sea, we provide licensed 4×4 vehicles with experienced local desert drivers, as regular cars are not permitted or practical there.
The price depends on your route, vehicle type, and group size — a short ride inside the oasis costs far less than an 8-hour private transfer to Cairo, and a 4×4 desert vehicle is priced differently from a sedan or minivan. We confirm a fixed, transparent price before you travel, with no hidden costs. Send us your route, date, and number of travelers on WhatsApp at +20 155 1580 786 and we will reply with an exact quote within hours.
Booking is simple: message Egypt Best Vacations on WhatsApp at +20 155 1580 786 or email info@egyptbestvacations.com with your route, travel date, pickup point, and number of travelers. We confirm your vehicle, driver, and fixed price within hours. Transfers run every day of the year at any time, and as a TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award winner for 2024, 2025, and 2026, we make sure your Western Desert journey is in safe hands.
