Lodges in siwa oasis

Grand Siwa is a fantastic place to visit for pure relaxation or amazing experiences. My better half and I visited Ali, who is the host of the lodges at Grand Siwa. Ali is a wonderful person who genuinely puts in the effort to make guests' visits as fantastic as possible. He is calm, down-to-earth, and extremely good at planning various activities and experiences that Siwa has to offer. When we arrived, we had a rough idea of the different places we wanted to visit. We told Ali about it, and he helped us with a program and transportation, so we could enjoy a smooth and memorable trip. Grand Siwa itself looks just like the pictures suggest — but standing there in person, it is even more idyllic. You are quickly overcome by a relaxing atmosphere and a true sense of peace. (We especially fell in love with the Lemongrass tea and the few Arabic words we learned from Ali.) It is highly recommended, especially for couples!

I enjoyed the medieval style/actual part of the hotel. The walls looked like dried mud (dark red). The closeness of the outside was exhilarating , the no windows in the dining area so the morning sun was welcome. Being close to the central square it was wonderful to see the living happening in front of you.

Breakfast and dinner were always amazing. The location is well outside of the town but that meant it was so peaceful and relaxing compared to Cairo. Tea and a fire were a great way to relax after seeing all that Siwa has to offer.
