Hill of the Dead Hotels in Siwa, Egypt

I stayed at the Albabenshal for about one week and I am a solo female traveler. The location is in the middle of the town and connected to the Shali fort, one most interesting architecture sites in Egypt. The view is absolutely priceless. Everything is in walking distance. The staff spoke great english and was extremely accommodating. Breakfast was simple, but tasty. They even make there own jam! Every meal I ate at there restaurant was hot and delicious. The hotel itself is visually stimulating, stylish and very organic. My room was the perfect size and decorated with local salt lamps and heavy woolen blankets which you can only find in Siwa. The local people were very friendly and interesting to watch. My favorite part of my stay was soaking in the hot springs and long bike rides around town.I felt extremely safe in the hotel and in the town. I would highly recommend this hotel, the staff really takes care of you. The Albabenshal is a very special place.

Wonderfully built small ecolodge in the middle of palm groves, beautifully integrated in the surrounding environment. Less than a 10 minutes bicycle ride from Shali and close to Amun temple and Cleopatra hot spring. Rooms are big and well designed; staff is extremely welcoming, polite and helpful. They also organize excellent desert trips. Quiet and relaxing, an ideal base to explore Siwa and the surrounding desert.
