Located sixteen kilometers from the charming village of Siwa, the Adrère Amellal Eco-Lodge sits at the foot of the ‘White Mountain’. This eco-lodge consists of 39 rooms that are built in complete harmony with Siwa’s unique natural and architectural heritage. The lodge is set amidst sixty million years of geological mineral formations, and its earthen buildings, characterized by their distinctiveness and authenticity, blend perfectly with the surrounding landscape of the Oasis.
Each room in the lodge is unique. The walls are made of saltstone, the roofs are crafted from palm wood, and the floors are polished from handmade stones. The furniture and sculptures in the rooms pay homage to the craftsmanship of local artisans. The lodge offers seven single rooms, seventeen double rooms, two suites, and thirteen special desert rooms. These rooms offer an atmosphere of pure tranquility, where nature and the environment are fully embraced. There is no electricity, making it the ideal place to completely unwind. Beeswax candles, torches, moonlight, and the endless starry sky provide lighting, offering an experience of serenity and silence that is hard to match. 
The lodge has its own organic garden, watered by natural springs. Here, indigenous plants, shrubs, and trees grow, forming the basis for the fresh ingredients used daily in the kitchen. Traditional dishes are prepared in honey-glazed clay pots, while handpicked herbs, vegetables, and salads accompany the meals every day. 
A retreat where nature’s rhythm meets timeless serenity
A stay would not be complete without exploring the stunning nature and rich history of the region. Guests can refresh themselves in a basin fed by the lodge’s natural spring, relax by the Salt Lake, discover the sand dunes of the Great Sand Sea, or step back in time by visiting the historic Shali Fortress. Other activities include horseback riding, salt, mud, and massage therapies. This makes the lodge more than just a place to stay; it offers an experience. It provides luxury that embraces the simplicity of desert life, with deep respect for the local environment and Siwa’s heritage. It is a retreat that combines peace, simplicity, and the magical feeling of the desert. 
Adrère Amellal Eco-Lodge offers an unforgettable experience in the Siwa Oasis, where the beauty of nature, the simplicity of life, and the craftsmanship of the local people come together. It is the perfect destination for those seeking peace, authenticity, and a unique connection with nature.
