For travellers who love being in nature with an added sense of luxury. Also called glamping, tented camps provide full or limited services, while surrounded by the wilderness. Typically in permanent or semi-permanent camps, these private tents/yurts are a great way to rough it while staying glamorous.
We used this accommodation as a base to explore the desert region of Fayoum and Bahariya. Ezz Ahmed offered very good value and highly organised tours tailor made for our needs. He delivered all that he promised and we felt completely safe with the staff he hired to take care of us.
The hotel is in the city of Bawiti, in the oasi of Baharya, very good for a trip into Black and White desert! The hotel manager Kareem help ed us to organize all the transportations (from and to Cairo) and desert tour for a convenient price and gave us very good meals (even if the food was too much for us). Kareem and the staff were very willing to help us. Our stay was great and the desert is amazing!! the icing on the cake the fruit in the room!!
comfortable room, staff were friendly and helpful. Ezz helped arrange the transfer to and from Giza and tours to the black and white deserts. Ezz also helped us find a driver to take us to Siwa Oasis. he was extremely helpful. Medhat and Mahmoud were our very experienced drivers, they were very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot about life in the desert and the Bedouin way of life. overall a fantastic experience!
Great hotel for a trip to the desert. You can order a transfer from Cairo to the hotel or get yourself.
Good internet in the main building, comfortable rooms (the room has air conditioning, a refrigerator, there was no hair dryer, but we didn’t need it). Great friendly staff, helpful in every way. Excellent homemade dinner and simple breakfast. Contacted the hotel in advance to discuss a trip to the desert, sent full information with the cost.
Elysium Resort is situated outside Bawiti village in a quiet area and amidst palm trees. All rooms are spacious and comfortable. Electricity is provided through solar panels. Ahmed and Mohamed are very kind people, who give it their all to cater to the needs of guests. Ahmed helped arrange our transport and meals were available upon request. We enjoyed both quiet time at Elysium and a wonderful tour with Ahmed into the black and white desert. We'd enjoy coming back one day.
beautiful an peaceful place with garden and some benches under the trees to relax. rooms are ok and have a heating option which was important in January. food was very good. Owners very helpful. They gave us a good price for transfer from Cairo and further to Luxor. We went to desert safari with them. It was marvellous!! the guide Tamer took us to the outstanding places. No other tourists. and in the evening we had a very tasty dinner in the tent near the fire and under the stars. We are recommending this place.
The little huts are very nice and cozy. There was always a fire after the tasty dinner to sit at and drink some tea. The hosts were very nice and helped us in any way we needed, including picking us up from the bus drop off and getting our beduin pants tailored!! We did an amazing three night trip into the desert - our guides were great and so nice to us!
Badry and his son Ahmad are such amazing hosts.
The place is great with basic amenities but the food and the cats are great. At night it is super peaceful and you can see the moon rise which a true magical feeling.
I also booked a one day safari with Ahmad and he showed me all the major sites. It was such an amazing experience and the family are super nice human beings!
We liked everything, Badry was an exceptional host and we enjoyed our stay. We did a one night camping in the desert and it was our best experience of our whole trip. These are very respectful people. The prices are honest and the stay is unique. I recommend greatly.
