Luxury Sahara
Tours made for you

The Sahara is the world’s largest hot desert spanning a massive 9,200,000 square kilometres (3,600,000 square miles). It engulfs most of north Africa, including massive swathes of Egypt. In fact the Nile Valley, where the bustling metropolis of Cairo sits, officially falls within the Sahara’s reach. That being said, rolling dunes and vast, empty yellow sand plates are easily accessible from the capital and hold incredible opportunities to uncover rich culture, prehistoric history, and lush oases complete with waterfalls and pools.

Siwa, an oasis in the dry dusty Western Desert, promises visitors an eye opening adventure. In what feels like the middle of nowhere it’s a surprise to come across an abundance of olive and palm groves, azure blue natural swimming pools and incredible history. There’s the Shali Fortress which dominates the town, the Temple of the Oracle, once visited by Alexander the Great himself, and there’s even the Siwa House Museum.

The great dunes themselves, orange and yellow and sweeping into the horizon, can become a wonderful outdoor playground. Exciting excursions such as sand boarding or dune driving in adapted 4×4 jeeps that feel like rocket-like roller coasters as they take the dunes at speed, are fun ways to experience the magnitude of the desert landscapes.
