Siwah Getting There & Away

Getting There & Away

By bus Buses in and out of Siwa arrive / depart from the West Delta bus station located on the main square of Siwa Town. Buses servicing the route to Marsa Matruh and on to Alexandria leave thrice daily at 7am, 5pm and 10pm. Booking ahead is well advised. From Cairo the best way is to catch a West Delta bus to Mersa Matruh on 7:30AM from the new Turgoman station, and then hop on to bus to Siwa, leaving at 13:30. There is a possibility of losing the connection, but the next Mersa Matruh - Siwa bus leaves at 04:00 PM. By taxi No official shared / service taxi station exists in Siwa, but those sheruts making the journey for Marsa Matruh leave from in front of Abdu's Restaurant, across from the Yousef Hotel. Most departures occur early in the evening, but ask around to confirm this on the day. Budget on LE 20 at least.
