Surrounded by palm groves and the ethereal beauty of the Sahara Desert, with the "White Mountain" as a backdrop and a salt sea in front of your eyes, the hotel seamlessly integrates with its natural environment.

Adrere Amellal is renowned for its commitment to regenerative practices, utilizing traditional building techniques and sustainable materials to create a seamless connection between the lodge and the surrounding oasis.

Guests can immerse themselves in the oasis lifestyle, enjoying locally sourced, organic cuisine and exploring the rich cultural heritage of Siwa.

WHY WANDER

Discover Siwa town and see the Temple of Amun, the Mountain of the Dead or the ruins of Shali Fortress. Enjoy your view of the salt lake, contrasted with the warm yellow of the sand dunes. Horseback Ride through the desert for the ultimate Siwa adventure.

INDULGE IN
