Shali Lodge is located within a five-minute walk
from the center of Siwa town. Built in traditional
Siwan style, it includes 16 rooms, a restaurant

Lodge welcomes travelers to the natural comforts
of Siwan hospitality. Simple yet elegant rooms
furnished with palm frond chairs, tables and
beds complemented with colorful Bedouin
carpets.

proximity to the archeological sites of the area.
The old town of Shali, built in Salt and clay, is
only five minutes walk from the lodge, as is
the neigboring market-place, where visitors
can shop for the unique and colorful handi-
crafts of Siwa.
- Shali Lodge*s restaurant is regarded as one
of the best in town. Meals are served in a
variety of indoor and out door settings. In the
evenings, a breezy rooftop tarrace overlooking
the surrounding palm trees is the perfect place
to dine, or to simply relax and enjoy the
splendor of Siwa's star-studded sky.

Beef Couscous, and our special Date Crepes.
Relax on the terrace, shaded by date-palms that
sprout through the floor, or in the den down-
stairs, strewn with cushions and warmed on
crisp nights by a wood-burning fire. Special
orders can be arranged for groups who wish
to enjoy a slow roasted local free-range delicacy
offered in the hotel or as a safari dining.
