Minamar Dream lodge
This lovely little hotel, built in a style that matches the
architectural curves in the old city, is situated down a quiet
unpaved road that winds through palm trees, and is one of my
favorite places in Siwa. A 3-minute walk from the tourist-dense
central square of Siwa, here you feel alone in the oasis, with a
palm grove all to yourself. The walls are rough, sandy plaster,
and the lighting is subdued at night. Arched doorways,
terra-cotta light shades, and simple-but-elegant furniture
hand-carved with traditional motifs really make this place
special. The rooms are large and follow the traditional motif of
the rest of the hotel, with rounded shapes and handmade
furnishings; they also have fans. For eating, choose between
seating on the roof amidst the top of the palm trees, with a
view across the grove, or downstairs on low cushions next to the
fireplace. Staff are friendly and well trained, and the food is
excellent.
