Adventure Holidays in Egypt are fun. We came to Egypt as a family on an Adventure Holiday in 2004, and we stayed (see our story). We now run Adventure Holidays to Siwa Oasis starting in Cairo and the Pyramids, seeing them by horseback early in the morning before the crowds. We then head down to Siwa via the Commonwealth War Graves and have a swim on the white sandy beaches of the Mediterranean before arriving at the Siwa Villa in Siwa Oasis.

You can have your adventure as one of our all inclusive holidays or we can book and organise everything for you directly leaving you in the hands of our tried and tested guides in Cairo and drivers who will take care of you before you arrive at the Siwa Villa.

The Siwa Villa has the sole use of our Jeep driven by Duncan to transport you around the local area where, and when ever you want to go...on and off road (tarmac is normally a bit of a rare site in Siwa;).

If you are looking to book an adventure holiday for a group of up to ten people, if you do the maths ... you will find that going somewhere different, you will spend a lot more time experiencing the culture and way of life that you came to see ... at a lower cost.

A reputable tour operator specialising in adventure group holidays will charge anywhere from 4,000 - 10,000le per person excluding flights and will then ask you to "bring along enough money to pay for things like your lunch and hotel bills along the way" ( this is an actual quote from one of their web sites).

A somewhere different holiday ... excluding your flights can be as little as 1000 per person if you book the villa only and you get to stay in a very nice place ...EVERY night;)

Don't get me wrong, I am not knocking what they do, we do run all inclusive holidays to Egypt ourselves, these Adventure companies are very good at what they do and for a single person who does not want to travel to places like Siwa on their own, they are perfect. The point is, if you have your group already together. you will make significant savings on booking your holiday directly with Somewhere Different.

We provide you with all the information you need and organise all your hotels and transportation for you. When you arrive in Siwa, you can all do as you like when you like, yet you can all meet up at the end of the day around our enormous dinning room table where you can perform a small banquette.

or up on the terrace where you can roast a lamb and watch the colour of the Shali change at sun set.

For groups of up to ten people who want an adventure and want to see desert life, Somewhere Different Siwa is worth considering as an alternative to booking an adventure holiday with one of the large tour companies. If you have any questions on how we can help you with this, please contact us about your holiday to Siwa here.
