In a remote wadi, this Bedouin-owned ecolodge is the perfect spot to sample the tranquillity and rugged beauty of southern Sinai. It deserves kudos for its environmental efforts: solar-powered showers; composting toilets; and beautifully designed, simple stone and palm-trunk rooms decorated with local textiles, which blend into the scenery. Due to the lodge's remote location, advanced reservations are essential.
Lit only by the flicker of candlelight by night, this is a truly unique spot that is worth the effort to get here. There is plenty of good trekking that can be arranged by the lodge. Due to the fact that minimal English is spoken, it is easiest to get a native Arabic speaker – such as the Mountain Tours Office in Al Milga – to help you make your booking. It can also arrange transport to the lodge by either 4WD or by guided trek. If coming by car, the lodge is only accessible by 4WD. The turn-off is signposted ‘Garaba Valley’ about 20km from St Katherine on the Wadi Feiran road.
