Egypt is not just home to incredible pyramids, it has the Siwa Oasis, which features hundreds of salt pools where it's impossible to sink

Get picked up after midnight from your hotel and set off to Siwa Oasis around 750 km from Cairo. Once arrive in Siwa Oasis, explore Cleopatra Bath an amazing place that makes you feel relaxed and interested by watching the glory of this ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra, as she had her own hidden pool inside the Siwa Oasis's palm groves. Then, you'll enjoy your lunch at the hotel, followed by check-in

After a short relaxation at the hotel, drive to the Mountain of the Dead, which includes many tombs back to the ancient Egyptian eras and watch the fascinating sunset. Head to the Old Village of Siwa Oasis and interact with its local people known for their hospitality. Back to your hotel for dinner and overnight

Back to the hotel for breakfast, then, head to the Salt Lakes. 4 large salt lakes that have a depth of 4m and a 95% concentration of Salt in them. The large presence of salt helps people float on the surface of the water even though they can't swim, and the salt also helps heal many medical conditions, especially skin problems.
