A stroll through Siwa and its city center – From Shali Fortress to ancient ruins, a journey through the oasis.

In Siwa and the oasis, tuk-tuks serve as a taxi-like mode of transportation. Riding through the desert breeze at a leisurely pace while visiting historical sites was truly a unique experience. The local driver kindly explained various spots around the area, making me feel less like a tourist and more like I was briefly immersed in the life of a local.
I was able to efficiently visit various historical landmarks such as Shali Fortress, the Temple of Amun, and Cleopatra's Spring in a short amount of time. The traditional Siwa houses and the oasis scenery along the way were equally moving.
Every moment—from the wind and earthy scents felt on the tuk-tuk to the smiles of the people—left a lasting impression. It was a precious opportunity to experience a different side of Egypt that can't be found in other cities.
