Cairo to Siwa Destination Reviews

JB
Someone sent me a message (Whatsapp) 4 hours before departure to let me know where to meet. I was happy, but I couldn't find it on the spot The message said to wait in front of the shopping mall when in fact it was inside a parking lot! Without the help of the competing companies next door, I'd never have found it. What's more, it's not a large coach but a 12-person van. We left 20 minutes late and arrived just as late. The seats aren't very comfortable or reclining All along the way there were many stops for passport control by the authorities We took 2 real 10-minute coffee/toilet breaks. Please note that there is no heating in the van; it's cold, so bring a heavy jacket.
