Taziry Ecolodge Siwa

Staying at Taziry was the right choice to escape the city noise. Being completely off grid, in a peaceful place with a great energy, food that is criminally good, fire place every night, great hosts, and still having the availability to have tours to town and sightseeing whenever I wanted. From my 2 nights experience I suggest you to: not miss great sunrise view at Taziry where you can watch different birds, strolling around cats and the calm lake. Ask for Chef Omar's food ( the best in Siwa and actually one of the best inEgypt from everything I tried last month) Visit the Templeton of Amun, Um Ubaida, and the Salt lakes! Taziry has a spacious library even if a bit abandoned it gave it a very special charm. Books I found were in Arabic, English, German and French. I found a book from 1950 about Siwa oasis which gave me many insights and information prior to my cultural tours ✨ I bought my tours through them and my transportation to the station to take bus to Cairo. The driver/ guide was very friendly and showed us around many beautiful gems. I felt very safe myself as a Woman there I could feel am having great service and great respect as well. I never felt like locking my doors for once even when I would leave for tours. A Don't do: One mistake I did was when leaving to Siwa center to take my bus to Cairo I only said take me to the bus station. But there are actually two different stops one for the coach ( big) busses and one for the small shuttles each run by a different company so the driver took me to a different stop but that was on me and luckily we had enough time for him to drive me to the correct place and didn't really charge me anything more. Do not expect electricity access everywhere at Taziry. Well after all the point is to be an eco place with a grounded energy. I chargee me devices once a day at a charging point at the reception.

The rooms were clean and simple , beds were very comfy and calm made the sleep at night so easy and peaceful. The facility though needs some cleanup work and maintenance. Seating areas seemed dusty and worn out. My only concern was the towels cleaning process, I ve asked for change of towels twice during my stay due to finding very dirty stains on the towels provided as fresh when checked in.

This was our 17th trip to Siwa staying at Taziry Ecolodge. We witnessed several improvements enhancing the comfort of all guests, including the new sensor auto lighting of all bathrooms. Overall all members of our group had a wonderful time at Taziry, where the staff were super friendly, courteous, and attentive to our every need. I must alert future guests staying at Taziry, that they will most certainly gain weight as a result of the delicious meals prepared and served by the lovely staff members, food is simply WONDERFUL!
