Siwa Oasis Getting there & around

Getting there & around

There are three daily buses to (and from) Alexandria (E£27, eight hours). Buses are often full so buy a ticket in advance from West Delta Bus Co near the Sports Centre.

There is no public transport along the half-finished road linking the oases of Siwa and Bahariyya. Some 4WD owners in town take passengers (approximately E£1300, 10 hours) but you’ll need a road permit (US$10 per person).

Donkey carts within town cost E£5. Bone-rattling bikes from the main square cost E£10 per day.
