Albabenshal Lodge Siwa
Down Town, Siwa Oasis, Siwa, Egypt – Excellent location – show map
I would say the lodge is probably ideally situated for a visitor to Siwa. Obviously there are "eco-lodges" around that are outside the main square but you'd probably need a car if you wanted to get around. Here there are several restaurants within an easy walk, all of the shops of the main square (and Siwa honey, salt and dates are definitely worth buying). You have the old castle right at your doorstep. Breakfast was good and they have Turkish coffee (the only kind of coffee you can get outside of Cairo in my experience). We stayed in the family room which was comfortable for four. It even has a veranda with a fireplace. The lamps are made of salt!
Albabenshal is located outside the ruins of Old Shali, a 13th century citadel in the center of Siwa. It offers a traditional Siwa accommodations with free Wi-Fi. Cleopatra Bath is within 1.2 mi away from the hotel. Rooms are furnished and decorated with multicolored Bedouin carpets. Each offers a telephone and fan. Some rooms have a balcony and a satellite TV. The bathroom is fitted with a bath or shower. On the main terrace, Albabenshal Restaurant serves à-la-carte traditional specialties prepared with fresh ingredients. Some of the dishes offered are Curcuma Rice, Shakshouka, and One Thousand Leaf Fetir. Guests can visit the nearest historical sites such as Beet El Siwi and Fatnass Island which is 1 and 1.9 mi away. Free public parking is possible at a location nearby.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.
