Here is your guide to five must visit winter destinations in Egypt.
Siwa Oasis
Siwa Oasis is one of the most beautiful tourist attractions in Egypt, and is most-known for its one-of-a-kind salt lakes and beaches. Siwa is located in the Western Desert of Egypt, near the Mediterranean coast, and it is 10-12 hours away from Cairo by land. Winter is the perfect season to visit Siwa, as the weather is usually warmer there and it is the most enjoyable period to enjoy the sun. The Salt Lakes are one of the most beautiful sceneries in Siwa, which one cannot miss to visit at least once in a lifetime. Floating and swimming in the lakes’ extremely clean and transparent water with its high concentration of salt is genuinely a mind-blowing experience. The Shali, Mountain of the Dead, and Cleopatra’s Spring are some of the many sceneries that must be visited in Siwa.
Luxor & Aswan
Those two cities being located in one of the most southern locations in Egypt attract tourists from all over the world as well as Egyptian citizens during the winter season in every year due to their warm weather. Luxor & Aswan are full of stunning sceneries and beautiful ancient culture to explore. One of the most phenomenal experiences one can do in Luxor & Aswan is to go on a luxurious Nile cruise around the greatest ancient monuments and cultural sceneries.
