Step off the grid and enter another world entirely at this desert oasis.
Appearing to have spontaneously sprouted from the sand below, Adrere Amellal is one of, if not the, most unique and unpretentious lodges in Egypt. With the 'White Mountain' at its back and Lake Siwa laid out like a mirror before it, the lodge is bucolic to say the least. As you walk down earthen corridors and stroll amidst the palms to lunch on the lakeshore, you might as well be a character in an Agatha Christie novel. Built using traditional materials of mud, sand and sun-dried salt, this experience is not one for the glam or the Gram; instead, it's authentic, quieting and really rather magical.
KAZAZIAN Siwa Hotel
Siwa Oasis
9 Rooms
Isolation has never looked so stylish at this hotel in the middle of 'nowhere'.
Around 850 kilometres to the northwest of Cairo, Siwa Oasis is a truly untouched corner of Egypt where date palms sway above magical crystalline springs. For years, there have been few options for avid adventurers to explore this land of great mystery... until now. Having dominated the business of high-end Nile cruises, KAZAZIAN is branching out with a delectable hotel in this very spot. Set on 620 acres of pristine desert, the hotel is a space of tranquillity and luxury, attracting travellers seeking a completely off-the-beaten-track experience. As for what you'll do there... Enjoy as much relaxation or adventure as you like.
