Cleopatra's Spring (known locally as Ain Juba) is a natural warm-water pool in Siwa Oasis, fed by an underground spring that maintains a constant temperature year-round. Despite its legendary name — local tradition claims Cleopatra bathed here — the spring has been used for millennia by Siwans and travelers crossing the desert. The circular stone-lined pool is surrounded by lush palm groves and offers a refreshing swim after a day of desert exploration.

Why Visit

Swim in a legendary desert spring with a year-round warm temperature

A quintessential Siwa experience — refreshing, photogenic, and timeless

Surrounded by palm groves in the heart of the oasis

What to See

The Spring Pool

The main pool is circular, roughly 15 meters across, and lined with stone. Bubbles rise continuously from the sandy bottom where the underground spring feeds in. The water is clear, slightly warm, and constantly refreshing — perfect after a hot desert day. A small cafe adjacent serves tea and snacks while you dry off in the shade.

Women should swim in modest clothing out of respect for local customs
The spring is most enjoyable in the late afternoon when the heat of the day is waning
Bring a towel and a change of clothes — there are basic changing facilities
