Adrere Amellal: Desert Ecolodge

Our family is fan of travelling and enjoying special accommodations with uniqueness. Adrere Amellal is the best so far. We prefer not to explain the experience… just go! Do not let the remoteness, the 10 hours from Cairo stop you from going. Worth the money, really. Adrere Amellal is not for those expecting the “luxury” of 5 star occidental hotels. Its luxury is the awesome vernacular architecture, landscape, silence, no electricity, no wifi, plastic free. BEAUTY in capital letters. Our favourite rooms: - if you like views, ask for the one that has a bed lounge at the terrasse - if you like very much art, ask for the Library room. - my very favourite: 5 Peach round suite room. We are a vegan family. The best vegan food we have tasted in a long time. We were pampered with kindness and discretion by Mohamed, the manager, and his team. Always with a yes and a smile. Book minimum 3 nights. Best time of the year: november and march (warm during the day and a blanket at night). If you like artisans, ask Mohammed a tour to visit the 3 master artisan they worl just for them. Thanks to the soul behind Adrere Amellal, owner and architect of the lodge, egyptian Dr. Mounir Neamatalla, the visionary of this project. Enjoy beauty!

Adrère Amellal is unique for many reasons, including the fact that there is no electricity in the hotel. Nights are particularly magical here, as every room is lit exclusively by beeswax candles ... The food is Delicious ... The location is more than I expected , everything was beautiful

A magical experience! Really one of a kind, I never knew that this gem existed in Egypt but my mind was blown! The location is magical and the serenity as well as the energy will take you places. Rooms are made of siwa salts to increase positive energy! No electricity, no artificial elements! All food and products are organic! Meanwhile, they attend to you and serve you like royalty! I’ll never forget how they used to light us fire and candles every night ensuring we were warm! Their chef cooking is unbelievably delicious but not much variety and you have to be open to experiment unconventional tastes , but I can swear that I never felt this serene in calm in my life before. They managed to make simple luxurious and I really don’t know how! Yes, it’s expensive but worth every penny

al mondo sono rimaste pochissime oasi nei deserti, e Siwa è la seconda come dimensione. qui, dove si dice che alessandro magno venne incoronato re d'egitto Il visionario fondatore egiziano ha acquistato un antico villaggio berbero abbandonato, ai piedi di una bianca montagna e affacciato su un grandissimo lago salato misteriosamente esistente nel mezzo del deserto del sahara al confine con la libia. Mounir Naematalla ne ha fatto un sofisticatissimo resort ecosostenibile, preservando in tutto quanto possibile l'autenticità del posto. non esiste corrente elettrica ma solo lume di candela, stelle e luna. servizio e cibo impeccabibili, raffinati e ricercati. tutto curato con un gusto sublime, un viaggio indietro nel tempo di 1000 anni in un atmosfera da film di zeffirelli. un altro dei posti imperdibili per chi ama riempire la propria vita di momenti sensazioni atmosfere ed esperienze indimenticabili. solo per intenditori.
