THE HOTEL
Fashioned from traditional materials - salt, timber from palm trees and baked mud inlaid with stone, almost as if it has grown organically from the rich oasis earth - this hotel has to be seen to be believed.
The Adrere Amellal sits nestled beneath the White Mountain and offers the most complete escape imaginable - not just from daily routine, but from the world as we know it. In keeping with the eco theme, there are no telephones and no electricity - instead the place is lit with the warm, flattering light of beeswax candles and the starry desert sky. This hotel is a genuine retreat and more - a stay here is truly unforgettable.
We think the excursion into the Sahara Desert is a breath-taking experience - even if you've visited desert locations before; swim in surprisingly cool lakes hidden amongst the vast expanse of dunes, then watch the desert turn red as the sun sets.
Quite simply excellent. If I could say one thing it is that Egypt is the place to go right now, as there were virtually no tourists at some of the sights and that,I should think, is quite rare!
