Lost in the middle of desert, about an eight-hour drive from Cairo, the hotel Adrère Amellal is a treasure, an ode to Berber traditions. Unusual and timeless, this hotel is a paper chase, a palace where the visitor loses himself in the shadowed paths while he goes to sunny terraces or to reading spots dug in the rocks. So, it is not surprising that the Adrère Amellal is the very first green hotel in Egyt. To get there, let you drive by the guide and don’t loose him because the hotel has no address!
Entirely built in karshif, a mix of stone, salt water and clay, the hotel leans back on the «White Mountain», a hillock of limestone which stands as a local attraction. Amazing, the Adrère Amellal is a kind of small Berber village crossed by desert winds and protected by the Siwa oasis. Its 40 open-air rooms give you the opportunity to marvel at the first rays of the sun’s light and fall asleep while counting stars.
