The Mountain of the Dead’ contains thousands of graves cut in the bedrock, where inscriptions helped to date the oldest graves to researchers and scholars. According to the official site of the Ministry of Antiquities in Egypt, burials continued in this cemetery until the late Roman era.

Central Siwa is dominated by the spectacular organic shapes of the remains of this 13th-century mud-brick fortress. Built from kershef (chunks of salt from the lake just outside town, mixed with rock and plastered in local clay), the labyrinth of huddled buildings was originally four or five storeys high and housed hundreds of people. A path leads over the slumping remnants, past the Old Mosque with its chimney-shaped minaret, to the top for panoramic views.

This small island is located 10 minutes from Siwa town. You will find dates farm in this island and it has a fresh water spring that you can swim in. It offers a spectacular view to Siwa Lake for sunset.

The Temple of Alexander the Great is located in El Bahariya, about three miles east the old capital of El Qasr (Al Kasr). Built by Alexander the Great, the temple was dedicated to both Amun and Horus. It is one of the largest temples in the New Valley (Western Desert), with more than 45 mud-brick chambers built with a layer of sandstone. The temple was built to commemorate Alexander's passing on his way to Siwa. When first discovered by Ahmed Fakhry, the temple's inscriptions and reliefs had vanished. However, restoration efforts have been exerted and the cracks between the stone blocks have been crudely filled with mortar. The remaining scenes in the temple represent Alexander the Great, as a King of Egypt in the traditional position of giving offerings to the Egyptian Pantheon, especially to Amun, Horus, and Isis. Around the temple, storerooms and a red granite altar were discovered.
