Why this trip
In the middle of the desert, near the Libyan border, lies the oasis of Siwa, and here the need for calm is at the centre. For couples and families who look for distance from everyday life, the oasis offers palms, salt lakes and dunes. The mud-brick buildings of the old town Shali and the Oracle of Amun belong to the well-known cultural heritage of the place. Because the file names only a few places, such as Haus Siwa, thorough advance planning is recommended.
You should clarify prayer facilities and food in advance, because in an oasis the choice is limited, and statements cannot be confirmed for all providers. The rhythm of the days follows the light: out early, midday in the shade, evening by the lake. From October to April the travel time is more pleasant. Alexandria, Cairo, Luxor and El Gouna lie as neighbours in Egypt, though Siwa lies far in the west and demands long drives.
The flight time is about 4 to 4.5 hours, and a visa is required, so check the details. Halal Travel plans route and breaks with you in a video call.
Getting there
For the journey, Halal Travel takes prayer times and catering on board into account from Zurich or Basel-Mulhouse.
