The car options at the end of the day is
the easiest way to get to Siwa in the winter and the train in the summer but, if
the sound of a car is for wimps.
Adventurous If you are seriously the adventurous type and have
plenty of time.. why don't you arrive in the same
way as Alexandra the Great did when he came to visit
the Oracle in March 331, by camel. The full journey
from Marsa Matrouh takes up to 12 days and is not worth doing as the terrain is not interesting, but we can
arrange to meet you 50k or so out of Siwa and you
could do one or two days of camel trekking down into the oasis through the mountain way's similar to Gilf Kebir and arrive
in style the way people have done for thousands of
years. You would be the talk of the town as no one
does this anymore and you would fully appreciated
the feeling of what it is like to finally arrive in
a true oasis.
There is a an Egyptian who has several
camels in Siwa who can do the trek for you and we
can provide the tents and cooking equipment that you
would need each night, it's not cheap and we need a lot of advance warning, but it's well worth it.
