Siwa Relax Retreat

Top choice in Siwa Oasis


Far away from it all, this place is a dream in which to totally relax for a few days. Built on the edge of the lake, the simple but comfortable rooms are covered in bougainvillea and have floors made of salt crystals. Some have shared bathrooms, others are en suite. There is no electricity, just candles.

Sun loungers surround the pool, which is part of the lake. Ashraf is a relaxed host, and gives excellent and expert oil and salt massages and mudwraps on the lake shore. You can book for a romantic dinner by the lake (US$15).
