Adrère Amellal Ecolodge Siwa
About The Hotel
Dr. Mounir Neamatalla’s Adrère Amellal Desert Ecolodge, situated at the base of the White Mountain near Siwa Oasis, 8 km from Siwa and an eight-hour drive from Cairo, is a blend of monastic simplicity, seraglio luxury, and playful sandcastle charm. This eco-friendly castle, reminiscent of a “Thousand and One Nights” tale, is built using local materials like kershef (a blend of sun-dried rock salt, clay, and straw) for walls, sandstone in bathrooms, and palm trunks with fronds for furniture, complemented by hand-woven fabrics. Its minimalist, harmonious design creates a unique paradox.
