When I’m asked about my favorite hotels around the world I often mention this one: It’s like nothing you have ever seen. 

The GM is nothing short of amazing: anticipating every need, making quiet magical moments, being fully unobtrusive  yet always present. I’d hired a driver to pick me up and when it came time to leave I was so sad I paid for my driver to stay overnight in town and wait for me another day.., that’s how good it was.

To experience the greatness of this hotel you need to suspend your belief about what makes a good stay: there is no electricity, there are flies, it’s hard to get to. But damn, you will feel like you went to a new magical planet.

Magical perfection

Im Egyptian but live abroad and was looking to see more of Egypt. I came here to Adrere Amellal. What a beautiful place. The staff, led by Mr Mohamed, were so kind, attentive, polite and caring. The food was magnificent. I ate so well. The setting was beautiful (climbing the mountain for views is a must). The tours they organised around Siwa’s historic sites and into the desert and the salt lakes over a couple days were excellent (with the superb assistance of Mr Elewa). 

The key take is that this place (and Siwa) is different , original, authentic and not like anything else. I thoroughly enjoyed.

Wonderful place. Very original.

Our family is fan of travelling and enjoying special accommodations with uniqueness. 

Adrere Amellal is the best so far. We prefer not to explain the experience… just go!

Do not let the remoteness, the 10 hours from Cairo stop you from going. 

Worth the money, really.

Adrere Amellal is not for those expecting the “luxury” of 5 star occidental hotels. Its luxury is the awesome vernacular architecture, landscape, silence, no electricity, no wifi, plastic free. BEAUTY in capital letters.

Our favourite rooms: 
- if you like views, ask for the one that has a bed lounge at the terrasse
- if you like very much art, ask for the Library room.
- my very favourite: 5 Peach round suite room.

We are a vegan family. The best vegan food we have tasted in a long time.

We were pampered with kindness and discretion by Mohamed, the manager, and his team. Always with a yes and a smile.

Book minimum 3 nights. 

Best time of the year: november and march (warm during the day and a blanket at night).

If you like artisans, ask Mohammed a tour to visit the 3 master artisan they worl just for them.

Thanks to the soul behind Adrere Amellal, owner and architect of the lodge, egyptian Dr. Mounir Neamatalla, the visionary of this project.

Enjoy beauty!

Enjoy Beauty

A magical experience! Really one of a kind, I never knew that this gem existed in Egypt but my mind was blown! The location is magical and the serenity as well as the energy will take you places. Rooms are made of siwa salts to increase positive energy! No electricity, no artificial elements! All food and products are organic! Meanwhile, they attend to you and serve you like royalty! I’ll never forget how they used to light us fire and candles every night ensuring we were warm! Their chef cooking is unbelievably delicious but not much variety and you have to be open to experiment unconventional tastes , but I can swear that I never felt this serene in calm in my life before. They managed to make simple luxurious and I really don’t know how! Yes, it’s expensive but worth every penny

Magical experience!

The service is what stands out at this ecolodge. Rooms are as rustic as they can get. Beds are a little hard, no AC but have the necessities. Meals here were fantastic!  We gave the 2 chefs standing ovation at the end. Cocktail and dinners are at different location every night. You’d have to stay 11 nights to experience all of them. We were lucky to have the perfect conditions for dinner under the stars in the Great Sand Sea that was perfectly orchestrated, beautiful, delicious and with great service. 
Activities are swimming/floating in salt lake, nearby temple of the Oracle Alexander the Great visited, old town of Siwa etc. 
This was one of our top 5 travel experiences of all time.

Out of this world experience!

What can I say!? I never thought such a place exists on earth! How could it be that simple yet that luxurious! The warm sun, clean air, serene atmosphere and surreal hospitality of the staff especially Mohamed Abd El Kader who strives to make your dreams come true! The stay exceeded my expectations but I don’t think it’s safe for young kids since it’s all lit with candles, my daughters are 12 and they considered this stay as one of the most memorable they had in their lives despite the fact there was no tv, electricity or WiFi!!!!!! Life time experience and worth every penny ❤️

Heaven on earth!

One of the highlights in Siwa is to enjoy a lunch or dinner at the famous Adrere Amellal Ecolodge.

We took our group of 16 PAX for a wonderful farewell candlelight dinner EVENT at this wonderful place, where the food, the service, and the attention to detail is certainly as expected.

Thank you Adrere Amellal, and we look forward to bringing our next group not just for dinner but to stay.

Egyptian Express Group Dinner

This hotel is an oasis in the middle of the desert. The food is just fantastic yet simple, but real organic taste. The ambience is like being in an Agatha Christie novel. There is no electricity so lighting at night is from candles everywhere, giving a filling of mystery and expectation. 
Do not expect luxury in decoration. Simple is the norm, but you have all the basics, and remember you are in the middle of the desert, where everything you think of is luxury already.
The people that serves and everyone in general are very gentle and helpful even though very few of them knows to speak english.


A unique place in the world

I did not stay there, but paid a visit by a nice local guide. It was amazing experience to walk around the compound without anyone, except us and the guard. I was feeling as being in folk tales or another world. I really appreciate the way they built the lodge by local material and fitting design with the local style.

special place

No wonder why pop stars and crown heads have visited this magical luxury ecological place! That's simply unique blend of nature, luxury, privacy and quietness

Offering the great view on the oasis lake, at the foot step of the white mountains, the guests can enjoy an ultimate luxury treatment in this hotel. Rooms setup, Cuisine, activities , hotel designs matches the most unique feeling of luxury and nature.

Don't forget to download app to identify the stars and planets as the air is so pure the stars will shine like anywhere else...

Mosquito repellent is must

While many will be wondering about safety being near of Libyan border , may these be in peace, as Siwa is considered as one of the most safest place of egypt . Regarding the access, we came by the brand new highway Cairo matrouh and then a fairly good road from matrouh to Siena. Takes 6 1/2 hours.

Congrats to the one who created this hotel and to the one who run it !
