Lot's of help from great people

Ahmet was very helpful - he told us about blocked road from Siwa, got us late supper when we arrived, organized an overnight tour to the desert, let us park our car and even offered shower next morning.

This was one of the most beautiful experiences and the best accommodation during our long trip to Egypt. I definitely recommend it. The host is helpful, the breakfast and dinner are plentiful and delicious. You can eat whatever you want, you won't have any problems with your stomach, which is a big advantage. We rented several rooms, all of them very clean, the bathroom is also clean and spacious. We received very delicious local grapes and dates as a gift upon arrival, and when we left too! That was very nice. I recommend that you definitely ask for the desert safari with the hotel's own car! Mahmud will take you to many places, but he will let you wander around on your own for a bit. He will show you many hidden beauties that few people get to see. If you like something, he will stop and wait patiently. This is what a traveler needs! Believe me, after all the Egyptian cultural attractions, you need to get to know the real Egyptian desert! The best opportunity for this is the Rahala Safari Hotel tour! I am attaching pictures, all of which were taken by us. You can see 6 different deserts, an unforgettable experience. If you are coming as a solo traveler, be sure to ask and listen to Ahmed's advice, so you can get to the Oasis quickly and easily. You can't use all the roads as a foreign traveler, but he knows how to get there. The oasis and the accommodation are very safe, you won't have any problems even as a solo traveler. In two weeks we didn't experience any problems anywhere in Egypt, you don't have to be afraid. Thank you very much Ahmed, we will definitely come back with a larger group for a longer desert tour!

Ahmed [owner or main manager] was wery supportive, perfectly managing the ranch, help us in critical situasion with police and gave us good tips for tripping. as for accomodation, it was very good, comfortable and clean. as for dish, the staff prepared royal's breakfast, really huge eating but also cook the dinner the same way - tasty and a lot. As for staff, they were warm and pleasant trying to serve well. the only thing i met for first time 😀 was tea with milk prepared the way: tea bag poured with boiling milk.

A wonderful experience in a colorful oasis

Everything about Rahala Safari Hotel was excellent. Ahmed and the entire staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast is excellent and plentiful, dinner is tasty and plentiful. The lounge with the fire lit is wonderful and you feel like a Bedouin while drinking tea after dinner. The hotel has a beautiful garden with flowers and fruit trees, ideal for drinking tea or coffee.

Amazing choice to stay in Farafra and explore White desert. Host‘s Ahmed attitude to his job is admirable: he really interests in guests needs and do everything to fulfil it, many thanks. Nice maintained and cozy hotel territory, big dinning room, very good and variuos breakfast. Dinner is perfect, various and very cheap – only 5 euro for person, portions are very big. Room is spacious, very clean, comfy. Hot water and big shower cabin, that is unusual in Egypt. Comfy beds, clean linen, sheets, blankets, many drinking water for free. Hosts arrange amaizing jeep safaries to the White desert, it is worth every euro we‘ve paid. Free and safe parking, they washed our car for free. Hotel is family runned and they work hard for guest could feel good and safe despite of hard conditions, autorities and police - they are not about help, but about obstruction only.

A memorable stay at Rahala Safari Hotel 👏

I resrved two nights at Rahala Safari Hotel, so I must say, the cleanliness of the hotel exceeded my expectations. The rooms were immaculate, and the attention to detail was evident throughout. Additionally, the staff was exceptionally helpful, providing excellent service with a friendly and welcoming attitude. My overall experience was delightful, thanks to the hotel's commitment to cleanliness and outstanding support from the staff.

From the first moment we arrived until the end of our stay we felt very welcome in the Rahala Safari Hotel. It's owned by a Bedouin family and they work hard to make you happy. The room was very clean and the beds super comfortable. We had also a little boiler to prepare coffee and tea (provided by them) and a basket of fresh fruit. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and abound. The little domes are surrounded by a beautiful garden. Because they asked a copy of the passports already before arriving they noticed that one of us celebrated his 80th birthday and they prepared a beautiful cake for him! What a surprise. The day after we had a 24 hours tour in the white desert with Hamada and Hamooh which was really great. We felt safe and they spoiled us with awesome spots, good food and their kindness. We want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH and we wish you all the best. Love from Monika, Kathrin and Pietro.

Ahmed is the nicest person who arranged us a super stay. Everything was perfect at his hotel including attitude to guests, breakfast, dinner and evening fire sitting. We’ll remember his place as well as a day dessert trip he nicely made for us. The most thank I’d like to say about painting hi gifted to us, it’s decorating my room and reminding me about him, Egypt and endless dessert I’ve been lucky to see.
