Where to camp in Egypt?

 

Egypt is a country that has many things to offer, and it is one of the most sought after tourist destinations in the world. The country has lots of beautiful places where you can go camping, and the most remote places are where you can experience the beauty of nature. Here are some of the best camping spots in Egypt.

1) Siwa Oases

If you're looking for a remote place to camp in Egypt, look no further than Siwa Oasis. The small town of Siwa is the only one of its kind in the world and offers a unique experience for travelers who want to get off the beaten path. This oasis is surrounded by sand dunes and has a hot desert climate, making it an ideal location for camping if you're looking for something different from your typical beach vacation.

Must-see attractions in Siwa Oases

-It's here that you'll find the temple of the oracle an ancient Greek temple that was used by Alexander the Great as an Oracle. The building itself is made up of three parts: a colonnaded forecourt, a central hall, and an inner sanctuary. You can take a camel ride up the mountain or hike up yourself, but either way, you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of the surrounding area.

-Explore the old town of Shali which is one of the oldest parts of this oasis village, with many traditional houses that have been preserved over time. This area was also used by British troops during World War II, so if you're interested in history then this place should definitely be on your list!

- Visit the mountain of the dead which is a place where people have buried thousands of years ago. Today, there are many tombs still intact but some have collapsed and been destroyed by earthquakes over time. You will find many different types of tombs here as well as rock inscriptions dating back to ancient times when they were first created by Egyptians living during that period; this including pharaohs from before their time whom they worshipped as gods after their deaths had occurred - such as Alexander III The Great who built his own tomb of  Alexander the Great here after he died.

- A favorite Siwa excursion is the freshwater lake at the Bir Wahid Spring, well-known for its therapeutic powers as well as its historical significance. Scientists have found evidence that people have used this spring since ancient times as a healing resource. It contains calcium chloride which can help with muscle pains and joint pain if taken internally (you can drink from the spring itself). You can also take baths in the spring or use its water externally for those same benefits!

- Take a tour of Amun Ra Temple, one of the most important temples in Egypt. It was built during the Ptolemaic Dynasty as a dedication to Amun Ra, god of wind and air, as well as fertility and creation. The temple also housed a sacrificial altar where bulls were slaughtered during religious festivals. It was built on top of an older temple dedicated to Amun Re and his consort Mut.

-Visit the Cleopatra Spring which is named after Cleopatra VII Philopator who visited this oasis during her reign in Ptolemaic Egypt. The spring has been used by locals since then and it still provides water today despite being surrounded by date palms and other desert plants. Visitors can drink from this natural spring or fill their bottles with clean water from it!

-Enjoy your day inside the Siwan house, a historic house museum that contained many artifacts including pottery pieces, and jewelry made from gold and silver metal alloys; some were even made from bronze! This is one of the most peaceful places in Egypt and has been known for centuries as a healing spot for those who suffer from respiratory ailments like asthma or bronchitis.

- See all of Siwa from above the Dakrour Mountain. It is in the center of the oasis and can be seen from all over town. If you're visiting for a few days, it's worth climbing up at least once to see the view. Not only does it offer one of the best vantage points for seeing all of Siwa, but it also makes for a fun morning hike after breakfast!

-Finally, there’s the Shali Lodge in Siwa, nestled right in between two mountains. This place is so remote that you can actually see stars at night! If you want to get away from it all while still being able to enjoy some creature comforts, this is the place for you.

Moreover, I am sure that the Siwa oasis offers many places to visit that are worth seeing...

 

2) The White and Black deserts

 The White and Black deserts are two of the most beautiful and mystifying places on earth. And Camping in the Bahariya oasis will allow you to experience the desert in a totally new way.

They're also home to a wide variety of must-see attractions that will make your visit unforgettable.

 

The White Desert, Egypt is an otherworldly landscape that looks like something out of science fiction movies. The sand dunes are made up of white silica, which makes them glisten in the sunlight and the surrounding mountains and valleys are covered with a thick layer of chalk, which makes for a stunning landscape that looks more like Mars than anything else. It's a magical place to visit, and there are plenty of things to do while you're there. You can visit

The Black Desert, Egypt gets its name because it contains black sand that comes from volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago like Al Marsous mountain. This desert is also home to many ancient sites, including pyramids and tombs that date back thousands of years ago.

The village of El Haize is another must-see attraction in Baharia oasis. This village has been inhabited since pre-historic times and even has evidence that Neanderthals lived here! You'll want to spend some time exploring its old houses and narrow alleys—it's really quite fascinating.
