The earth-toned walls here hide a pampering hideaway of spacious suites, all elegantly attired with local crafts and the odd antique adding artistic accents. Wake up to Lake Qarun vistas from your terrace and relax in your jacuzzi after Fayoum explorations, though with a spa and two infinity pools onsite you may find it hard to leave.
