The Siwa Villa is complety surrounded by the old town of Siwa

The dictionary explanation for the word 'Villa' is ‘A large house and gardens with a focus on leisure and relaxing’, there is no mention of what a villa is made of… so technically it is a villa, but I bet you've never been in a villa made of mud before.

This page shows you the outside of the Villa. To see were there is sleeping for up to 10 people have a look at the pictures of the inside here.

The Siwa Villa is on the left of the picture above with the three arches

There is an area for parking up to two jeeps in the front of the villa if needed.

Everyone loves a fire... and nobody wants to leave it when dinner is ready. We thought about this one and decided to bring the dinner table to the fire. The area is kitted out with a spit for cooking whole lamps on so you can sit around the fire taking turns to turn the lamp, watch the ever changing colours of the Shali at sun set and serve up your meal without leaving your seat.

The Siwa Villa is surrounded by the old part of the town called the Shali. To the front of the villa you have the very old part that is now a protected area and lit up at night. To the side and back the houses are all made of mud and have not changed theirs ways for hundreds of year. To see pictures of the rooms inside the Siwa Villa click here .
