Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
A very peaceful and beautiful place. Amany is the best host - a calm, warm and helpful presence.
Close enough to the main town (we walked once and it was about 20 mins) but you can get to anywhere for a cheap price in a tuk tuk. The desert safari was incredible! we opted for a private one with dinner and it did not disappoint - so much fun with incredible stars and Amany booked us the best chef in town who cooks the food under the sand. Would recommend!
Albabenshal is conveniently located in the center of Siwa below the old fortress. It is a 5 minute walk from the bus station. The design of the lodge has been done well with simplicity and using local resources to create an inviting, unique and restful place to stay. The staff are welcoming and accommodating from room arrangements to helping us arrange outings on the day of. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Siwa.
The room was very comfortable! Most importantly the hosts are very welcoming and very happy to talk about the city and the culture. they know everybody in town and can give all the good recommendations. I also went on a safari trip with the host and the service there was excellent! I warmly recommend it to anyone.

This is my third time at Olive Garden Siwa. It is an amazing ecolodge with wonderful services and staff. Additionally, the new eco-friendly units facing the fresh water pool are unique and relaxing.
The staff was amazing, helping on everything you need wherever you need it, sorting the tour around Siwa on taxi or even the desert safari if you fancy!! The price of the rooms are fair enough and have and amazing swimming pool to cool you down after a hot day !!
Definitely the best place to stay in Siwa.
Just book it without a doubt.
Awesome stylish rooms, swimming pool, delicious breakfast (local cuisine), very nice staff.
Also you can arrange the desert safari and other activities just at the front desk if you would like.
Totally recommend 👍
Great facilities and atmosphere to relax with amazingly wonderful rock mountain and lake view. Friendly staffs and cute dogs :) Delicious breakfast. Even though there are some restrictions on using of water and electricity like other ecolodges, but you can effortlessly accept this as a part of Siwa life 😀
Salama is a very nice person, he care for his guests. He let us entry the room Early and then leave it late with no charge. Also he helped us book our tours: a safari in the desert and a tuktuk to the Oasis, both at a very good price. Salama helped us take advantage of our little time there. Definitely the Best place that we stayed in Egypt! I recommend it a lot. And Siwa it's a beautiful place! The albabenshal Lodge architecture blends nicely with the old town and the view of it from the terrace it's very nice.
