ADRÉRE AMELLAL, SIWA

“ECO-LODGE”

Rising like a giant sand castle just outside the desert town of Siwa, Adrere Amellal makes its home amidst majestic rock formations, lush palm groves and brilliant salt lakes.

With no electricity, no plastic and water supplied from nearby natural springs, Adrere Amellal certainly earns its “eco-lodge” status. The buildings and all 40 rooms are handcrafted from mud brick and palm wood, blending effortlessly into the rocky desert landscape. Lit by the sun during the day, by night, the whole hotel is illuminated by the soft glow of hundreds of beeswax candles.

With no Wi-Fi to distract you, you are free to go completely off-grid and immerse yourself in the wild beauty of the Sahara. Explore the steep dunes by jeep or sandboard, visit mighty fortresses and dip in one of the hundreds of crystal-clear salt lakes that dot the Siwa Oasis region. The hotel grows most of its ingredients and serves meals by the pool or out in the palm grove.

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”
Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”
From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

“WONDERFUL TREK IN NEPAL AND VISIT TO TIGER RESERVE”
From our very first phone call, The Ultimate Travel Company provided excellent service. We shared our ideas and they came back with a proposal that included everything we wanted – then improved it with thoughtful suggestions. We were especially impressed that our tailor-made holiday was competitively priced. Once on the ground, everything ran smoothly. We were met at each airport, stayed in fantastic hotels, and had a brilliant guide for our trek. A truly enjoyable and well-managed trip from start to finish.
