Siwa – Fjallaskálar

Shiam Peng Singapúr

I was originally supposed to only stay one night at Paloma Lodge from 6 Nov to 7 Nov, but because I enjoyed my stay here so much, I decided to extend for 4 more nights, only checking out on 10 Nov instead. Paloma Lodge is very well located, with only about 5 mins’ walk away from Siwan town centre where all the restaurants, cafés and shops are located. Apart from that, it’s only a stone’s throw away from a fresh water spring, where it’s perfect for an early morning or mid-afternoon swim. The host, Captain Nair, is super kind, warm and hospitable! He made me feel very welcomed and because I was a solo female traveller, he would check on me when I’m out later in the evening. In fact, he invited me to dinners at the lodge with lovely meals, either prepared by the good Captain himself, or his lovely housekeeper, Safie! The lodge is very tastefully decorated and kept very clean. The one-room apartment that I stayed in was very cosy and was sufficiently equipped with kitchen appliances, such as; electric kettle, toaster oven and a fridge. I will definitely stay at Paloma Lodge again, when I come back to Siwa!! It was a very enjoyable and cosy homestay which felt like you are with family. A home away from home.

Location, owner and staff, strong wifi, Yesser, Nadir, and Ali are wonderful. They help you set up everything you need for a great stay. Yesser has done a great job in design of accommodation. Food is prepared fresh with many organic herbs pulled right from the garden. Have some tea with lemongrass and mint. Yummy:) Location is phenomenal! It is located on Siwa's healing mountain. There is wonderful view of entire oasis. Salt Lakes are about a 10 minute drive. Great Sand Sea is about 10 min drive. Strong wifi. I had zoom meetings with my US clients with no issue. Will definitely return

The location is great, one minute from the main square of the city, and within five minutes from all the local shops and restaurants. The simple design of the hotel is beautiful and fascinating, but what really makes it worth it is the kind host Mohammed which helped us organize all the activities in Siwa. Also a big shout out to our amazing tuk tuk driver (or better say ferrari driver) Mohammed, which took us EVERYWHERE in Siwa. Even though it is not part of the hotel I would like to give a little bit of visibility to the Siwa Terracotta School, which is less than five minutes walking from Albabenshal. You need to support their beautiful work and talented artists, and there you can find the best souvenirs in Egypt.

Charming Ecolodge: The ecolodge boasts a charming ambiance with clean, well-decorated rooms, though note that one of the two bedrooms is typically occupied by the owner. Remote Location: Nestled in a tranquil local village, the ecolodge provides a peaceful retreat. However, its distance of 25 minutes from town and tourist sites may pose inconveniences. No restaurants or shops around. Home-Cooked Meals: The owner, a proficient cook, offers delectable home-cooked meals. It's worth noting that the menu's consistency varies and leans towards carbs, sugar, and fats due to the owner's vegan preferences. Under Construction: The ongoing construction indicates efforts to enhance the ecolodge, promising an improved experience in the future.
