Cairo – Siwa – Western Desert –Luxor
– Aswan – Cairo On this trip we stay in houses… not hotels.
Our neighbors are locals and their way of life has
not changed for hundreds of years. Experience the
simple life whilst questioning your own and enjoy
being truly Somewhere Different whilst taking in the
sites. Most of the accommodation is of a high standard
and enables us to enjoy good showers and creature
comforts before going native a few days at a time.
The tour is similar to the Western Desert and
Siwa Safari tours (above) until we carry on through
the White Desert and travel through the oasis to Luxor,
staying in a house on the Nile before heading down
to Aswan where we stay in a house on Elephantine
island before sailing off on a felucca for a night
before heading back to Cairo on the overnight sleeper
for more mummies and bartering! To see the full itinerary

(min group size 9 people as you need at least three jeeps for safety) Cairo – Siwa – Western Desert –
Gilf Kebir – Siwa – Cairo You’ve always talked about ‘going on
a real expedition one day’ and…well, now
you can. We live in Siwa and know the best jeep drivers
who lead the exhibitions to the Gif for the major
tour companies. We know who’s done the trip
several times and who we are comfortable putting our
lives in their hands, – something
we don’t take lightly. If you want to see the
Pyramids and experience some home-comforts in Siwa
before taking off to see some of the amazing landscapes
and cave paintings several hundred kilometers from
the nearest piece of tarmac… then this is the
trip for you.
What is a Somewhere Different All inclusive Holiday
like?
A Somewhere Different 'All inclusive holiday to Egypt'
is about going where no tour group goes; meeting
and sleeping next door to real locals in the desert
and hanging out with them at the same time as being
able to relax and have a perfectly made G&T before
dinner. I'm
no Indiana Jones but I do live in Siwa and friends
of mine from the Berber and Bedouin tribes here have
shown me places and a way of life that are very different
from the 'must see' attractions on most people's itineraries.
I have found guests who have come and stayed with
us here in Siwa have enjoyed experiencing the Siwan
culture and hospitality as much as, if not more than,
the places we have shown them, literality off the
beaten track. Our style is different and...well, people
seem to like it.
Hanging
out with the locals in the back-streets of Cairo
Guests who have come to visit us in Siwa Oasis have
also wanted to see other parts of Egypt in the same
way that they have experienced the desert way of life.
Over the last four years I have traveled with several
groups around the Western Desert, Luxor, Aswan, the
Pyramids and the twisting little alleyways of Islamic
Cairo. We have explored many people's homes and ...
several bars dotted around the country. It has been
fun and a real adventure. I know my way around and,
due to often traveling with my children who are rapidly
learning the language, we have been welcomed into
the towns we visit and the houses and communities
we stay in.
We realise there are people like you who want to
come and experience Egypt and the desert in a way
that does not treat you like sheep and takes you right
into local people's lives and the major sites in a
way that is personal, hassle free and with lots of
'wow' factor. You want to do it all, but you do not
have the time or the energy to sort it all out, and
you can afford to, basically, let us
organise it all for you.
So, if you would like, we can pick you up from the
airport and take care of you for your entire stay
in Egypt, taking you where you want to go and when
and in a way that suits you.
I have put together seven very different all inclusive
holidays to Egypt that include all your meals and
even all your alcohol whilst in Siwa, except for bar bills in Cairo and wherever
else we sniff out any drinking holes before we get
to Siwa Oasis to explore the desert. As we are a small
family business
we can tailor your trip in any way you like and we
really enjoy doing it as we don't do these trips every
day.

Shali, a five minute walk from the Siwa Villa where
you will be staying in Siwa.
