Gara Oasis: A Step Back in Time
A tour of Gara Oasis is like stepping back in time to a hidden world in Egypt’s Western Desert. Located about 120 kilometers from Siwa, this secluded oasis offers a mix of history, natural beauty, and adventure.
As you journey across vast sand dunes, you’ll reach El Gara, a small village built on a rocky hill and surrounded by palm groves fed by ancient Roman springs. The village’s ancient fortress is still intact, offering a glimpse into its rich past.
You can visit tombs of holy men, including the famous Sidi Yaga tomb adorned with ostrich eggs, and explore unique natural formations like the ‘giant mushroom’ and ‘crying mountain.’
With only 700 residents, El Gara remains peaceful and untouched, providing a perfect escape for those seeking tranquility and an off-the-beaten-path adventure.
