Description
I'm from Egypt, and i moved recently to a magical Oasis call "Siwa", that will never fail to attract you with its beauty. I started a agricultural-touristic project as resort for retreat and relaxation. We have natural hotwater, cold water, salt water springs.
I'm married and I run the place with my wife and local partners.
These are the responsibilities of our local working staff :
- Abdo (me): reservations and reception
- Noor (my wife): room service
- Etman: general decoration and support in the kitchen
- Hassan: our main chef for cooking
- Seliman: logistics and procurements
- Wahba: barman
- Hakam: organizing tours

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
This Oasis is in the middle of the desert, but it has a lot of farming, lakes and history. It is an exotic place to experience with all palm trees and amazing sand dunes. It's a touristic town with some of Pharaoh temples. The locals are Amazigh, they have a special culture than the rest of Egypt.
In our place, we are one family doing everything together, I'm from Cairo, my wife is from Netherlands and my other five employees are locals from Siwa. We always learn from each other different habits, languages and traditions. We speak 3 languages in our place, Arabic, English and Amazigh. It's a special combination that would enrich your experience with us.
