The aftereffects of leaving Siwa Oasis on the second day are even stronger than a heartbreak

Siwa Oasis in Egypt, a small town rooted in the desert, where the economy is underdeveloped, transportation is inconvenient🚙, and tourists are scarce. Yet, because of its simple customs✨, touching prices, and unique scenery, it has become my favorite place in this trip to Egypt❤. Nurtured by the desert are temples, salt lakes🌊, hot springs, and other wonders, Sandboarding, diving, watching the sunset, unlocking various life experiences, The aroma of roasted Kebab is overwhelming🍖, with dates sweeter than honey, For just 50 per person, you can rent a tuk-tuk for a whole day✌, it's really worth it! 📅Recommended visiting time: at least 2 days Siwa Oasis is suitable for relaxation and worth exploring, so it's advised to stay longer. If you're on a tight schedule, this quick tour itinerary is for you: 👉Day 1: Arrive at Siwa by bus at 10:00, start a car tour at 11:00 (many people at the station are looking for passengers). 🗺Oracle Temple (overlooking Siwa)→Temple of Amun→Salt Lakes→Camp Hot Spring→Sunset at Shali Fortress 👉Day 2: Start a car tour at 9:00, and take the bus back to Cairo at 19:30. 🗺Mountain of the Dead→Enter the Sahara Desert→Mummy Sites→Beside the Bedouin River→2 million-year-old human footprint sites→Cleopatra Spring 🌟Oracle Temple (Oracle Temple) The architecture is relatively well-preserved, and you can overlook Siwa from the hillside, capturing the coconut groves and salt lakes in one frame, which is really amazing. Next to it is the Temple of Amun, with beautiful patterns on the stele, worth a short stay. 🌟Salt Lakes (Salt Lakes) Salt lakes of various sizes and colors, formed by mining. With a salinity of over 90%, even non-swimmers can enjoy the fun of floating, which is thrilling for me, a non-swimmer. Remember to bring swim trunks, a towel, and fresh water for rinsing. The edges of the salt lakes are sharp, so be careful not to get cut. 🌟Camp Hot Spring (hot spring) Taking a warm natural hot spring bath after coming out of the salt lake is simply delightful. The pool bottom has algae, and the water quality is average, with an entrance fee of 100 Egyptian pounds per person, and you can play for about 1 hour. 🌟Shali Fortress (Shali Fortress) This is a filming location for 'Assassin's Creed' and also resembles a maze. Watching the sunset from a high point and the rise of the evening glow is very romantic. It's recommended to check the sunset time in advance and plan the day's itinerary accordingly. 🌟Mountain of the Dead (Gabal al-Mawta) A Pharaoh's temple from 1600 years ago, with no tourists when I arrived at 9:30 in the morning, perfect for photography. 🌟Sahara Desert (Sahara Desert) Due to limited time, I couldn't watch the desert sunset and stars this time. The car tour guide took us to see some off-the-beaten-path places. In a crevice of a small mountain near the Libyan border, you can see scattered mummies, some of which have been damaged. Near the site of early human footprints, we also saw a wild hare. I was so excited that I shouted out loud and didn't manage to take a photo. 🌟Cleopatra Spring (Cleopatra Spring) For diving in China, you watch Tianjin, but for diving in Egypt, you watch Siwa. Many people come here every day to dive in various styles, with a depth of about 4 meters, so non-swimmers should not try. The juice shop next door is famous, and you can go up to the second floor to quietly watch the free performance.
