Description
I'm Maryhan originally from Cairo and currently living in Siwa, I’ve been working for two years and now I’m running a guest house, So Siwa is an oasis in the middle of Western desert that is surrounded with palm trees, olive trees, beautiful mountains and great sand sea.
It is really calm and peaceful oasis that you easily could connect to yourself and enjoy pure nature.

Accommodation
I own a guest house that you are welcome to stay in, it is an ecovilla five minutes walk from Siwa city center.
You are welcome to use the kitchen that is fully equipped and a lot of times I cook and of course your welcome to share food. I can offer food continuously in the fridge and you can cook yourself and a lot of times I will share home cooked dinner with you.
