Egypt · 7 days · From EUR 2900 (indicative)
Day one is arrival at Cairo airport, a pick-up, hotel check-in and an evening gathering to set intentions for the week. Day two is the sightseeing day: the Pyramids of Giza and the Egyptian Museum, with a reflection session in the evening. Day three is the drive to Marsa Matrouh on the Mediterranean coast, where the group does yoga on the beach, swims and stays overnight by the sea.
Day four covers the remaining journey into Siwa, with comfort stops, then check-in at the eco-lodge and a welcome dinner of local Siwan food. That evening there is meditation under the stars. Day five is the fullest day in the oasis: morning yoga among palm trees, Shali Fortress, a swim at Cleopatra Spring, sunset at Fatnas Island and an Amazigh cultural night.
Day six is the desert day. Guests float in the Siwa Salt Lakes, take a 4x4 safari into the Great Sand Sea with sandboarding and a stop at a natural spring, then have a Bedouin dinner under the stars. Day seven is sunrise yoga, a closing circle and the return transfer to Cairo International Airport.
The horse riding is listed as one of the week's activities in Siwa, alongside the salt lake and salt cave visit. The itinerary also includes a healing experience in the Siwa Salt Lakes and Salt Cave. The operator notes that the nine-hour Cairo-to-Siwa drive is the reason for the Marsa Matrouh stop, so the week is built around making that transfer comfortable rather than pushing straight through.
Rooms are at an eco-lodge in Siwa, with the Cairo and Marsa Matrouh nights forming the rest of the seven days. The operator is Desert Yoga Retreat Egypt, which runs several other yoga trips in Siwa, Fayoum and Sinai.
