Spent in the lodge with my wife 2 nights as part of a group and extended additional one night on our own. It is an awesome lodge though it’s not an “eco” lodge since there is electricity, TV, fans and sewage system but this is just a debatable "definition" that didn't affect our high quality stay. The location is a... More

The lodge is an excellent surprise. Not only the place is amazingly beautiful and quiet , but also the staff is very sweet, the moment we walked in we felt we are so welcomed. It is suitable as a base to visit Siwa attractions or have alone time. The room: is spacious, with Siwan ethnic style, almost all made of... More

Siwa as such is not anymore an Oasis, but rather a busy and dirty palce in the middle of the dessert. But within the walls of Ghaliet you get back the feeling of being in an Oasis, just as it has been 25 years ago. Beautiful rooms, great design, striking simplicity, good functionality and extremely friendly service. Not the cheapest... More

I cannot recommend this hotel more highly! We stayed four nights in wonderful surroundings within 2 kilometres of the centre of Siwa (bicycles are easy and inexpensive to hire) and had first class service with deliciously cooked local produce

This is a truly magical place! The hotel is beautiful and the staff are excellent! We were sad to leave. If you have the opportunity, book a desert dinner excursion- it's one of the highlights for our entire trip around Egypt.

The rooms are great, the place is stunning. The service is painfully slow. Service is bad almost everywhere in Egypt, but even worst here. Two hours for breakfast to get a cup of tea and fried eggs... At lunch time, i've asked for a specific plate, explaining that we were leaving with a guide in ninety minutes. One hour later,... More

Dear Valuable guest, I apologize for what happened,But please would you mind accepting our excuse as it is the first day of the occasion of EL ADHA Feast ,and as all our employees are indigenous ,we used to respect their traditions to let them sacrifice at that day with their families and come to the work.

The Ghaliet Ecolodge was a truly stunning place to stay. Soon after arriving at the ecolodge we were greeted by the owner, Magdy, who took us on a tour of the place and showed us how each room is unique. The rooms are beautifully built incorporating elements from nature brilliantly into the design while also bringing the outside in, with... More

We read the reviews for a lot of places in Siwa before going (and popped into check out a few while we were there) and suffice it to say, I'm so glad we chose the Ghaliet. First off, Magdy who I dealt with before our arrival over email was very helpful and straightforward. He made sure someone was there to... More

The Ghaliet is a true gem. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are amazing, and it's absolutely quiet. The cool water of the pool is welcome any time of the day (it gets really hot there). The staff is very helpful and the food is very good. It's a bit set back from Siwa Town, but you can easily rent... More
