Adrère Amellal is a 5-star ecological lodge nestled in Egypt's Siwa Oasis, at the foot of the majestic "White Mountain." Resembling a fairytale casbah straight out of A Thousand and One Nights, this stunning lodge is a castle of clay, sand, and salt, where the silence is so profound that at night, it’s said you can hear the stars. Adrère Amellal will truly take your breath away.

Internationally recognized as one of the world’s most beautiful hotels and one of the most impressive eco-lodges, Adrère Amellal has hosted many distinguished guests, including Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla Parker Bowles. Condé Nast describes Adrère Amellal as “a paradox in process, mingling the asceticism of a Cistercian monastery, the luxuries of a Turkish seraglio, and the whimsy of a Cape Cod sandcastle.”

Every piece of furniture and craft at the lodge pays tribute to nature and the skilled local artisans who created them. The food served is all locally produced and lovingly grown on the grounds of the property without the use of pesticides. Traditional dishes are cooked in honey- glazed pots, with herbs and vegetables hand-picked from the organic garden, and meat and poultry sourced from local farmers. Bread and cakes are freshly baked on-site. The flavors crafted by the world-renowned chef Arafa Mahmoud are truly intoxicating, with each meal presented in a different setting, allowing you to fully savor the breathtaking views.

As night falls, the property is illuminated by hundreds of candles, casting a magical glow over the dinners. Lanterns adorn the steps, guiding you through the serene darkness. Without electricity, the rooms are softly lit by dozens of beeswax candles, creating an ambiance that is both intimate and enchanting, with the starry desert sky as the ultimate backdrop.

Adrère Amellal is a sanctuary within a sanctuary, offering an experience that will stay with you forever.
