Siwa, Egypt - Somewhere Different, Desert Holidays

Experience the adventure of the sahara desert and the culture of the local Berber and Bedouin tribes of Siwa Oasis mixed in with the luxury of your own private villa where you can relax and enjoy a G&T around the fire on the roof terrace in the evenings. The Siwa Villa is a traditionally built mud house completely restored to Boutique Hotel standards. Accommodation for Family's on holiday, Safari Groups or Travelers who want to experience 'Somewhere Different' and not just another hotel room. The villa is quiet and very private behind the old Shali fort in Siwa, five minutes from the souk. There are four large bedrooms that can accommodate up to ten people. The roof terrace has a large fire place big enough to roast a lamb or two with several quite areas around the house for people to relax.

The villa is serviced by a full time Siwan house keeper and Ludmila who is the House Manager.

Luxury accommodation mixed with local

		There are tombs all around Siwa, some Roman, some Pharonic. It's the fact that there is no one else for miles around that makes it all the more interesting.
Lazy days exploring tombs out in the desert...

	After your day out in the desert, to retire to the roof terrace to watch the light change over the old Shali fort is a favorite pass time. As they say, time wasted and enjoyed, is time well spent.
		...back in time for G&T's on the roof before cooking dinner over the fire.

Siwa Oasis is on the edge of the Great Sand Sea in the Sahara Desert

We live in a Siwan garden on the edge of the Sahara Desert which has a swimming pool and camp area amongst the olive trees for you to use at any time.

If you really want to get away from it all, we have 60 acres of sand dunes next to a lake 25 minutes away (pictured above) where you can camp out and count the stars.
