ABOUT THIS TRIP

Two nights in the palm gardens of Siwa, with its springs and the mud-brick ruins of Shali, then a night in a camp out in the Sand Sea where the only light comes from the stars.

The drive to Siwa is long, so days 1 and 4 are mostly on the road, with a break by the Mediterranean at Marsa Matruh.
