“So hospitable had an amazing time”

Abdallah and his family and friends are amazing so hospitable and so helpful in planning the trip and they will help you connect with drivers that will take you to the best of places etc this is where you want to be and the beds and ac and everything was really comfortable

The location is in the center, the staff were nice, good value for money.

“Great hospitality and comfortable amenities”

The owner was vey kind. He let us check in early as we took an overnight bus to Siwa. The room was very comfortable and we were able to use the facilities even after check out as we were waiting for our next overnight bus! Thank you for such kind hospitality!

Location good, room fine

“Very good”

The owner is very nice. We arrived in the early morning from Cairo, and he made the room for us the night before, so we can have some rest right after we arrived. They provided tours for safari and other tours with reasonable prices. He listened to our advise to improve the place.

Friendly atmosphere The owner is very friendly and helpful

The cleanest one i have ever stayed in Egypt! Affordable price and best quality .

“Best location, good breakfast, helpful speaking english owner, good bed mattresses, clean sheets”

“It is worth traveling such a long way to visit Siwa and stay at this hostel.”

The owner of the manager makes the cozy hostel warmer and more comfortable for travelers. It becomes the home of Chinese people who visited the hostel. The owner is polite and gentle to every guest. Every time when he drinks the tea, he is always ready to offer you one. It’s very wonderful to talk to him. It’s a pity I only stayed for one night.

“Best and only hostel in Siwa”

Location is so important when you stay in Siwa otherwise you end up paying for Tuktuk up and down and the roads are not good. Al Manara hostel is in town walking distance(2-5min)to restaurants shops fruit pharmacy cellphone. It's perfect!

He picks you up from the bus stop, it's not a scam!

“Excellent place to visit Siwa!”

Everything! The place is clean, good location and very comfortable! Good place to stay in Siwa!

The stuff and he was only one Hos name is Saloomy He is a nice man

Lovely place to stay, met lots of travellers and the tours are really great and good value. Sloma is so nice and Abdalla the owner gave me lots of good recommendations. Would definitely stay again if I came back to Siwa.

The hotel is really nice! First of all, it equipments are very modern, not like other hotels in Siwa, so it’s much more comfortable. Besides, the owner is very nice and friendly, don’t hesitate to book the trip tour from him and he will provide you with tutu cars, and the drivers are really nice!

“One of my best memories from Egypt”

What a lovely place - one of the best places I stayed at in 3 weeks travelling Egypt. Although the owner was not there when I stayed, he was still 10x more present and helpful than most hostel owners I encountered. He promptly answered any questions I had via whatsapp from before I arrived to the moment I left, so that I never felt out of my depth or without a clue. And when I arrived late at night there were staff members to help me who spoke English. As a solo female traveller, details like this are very important, especially when you're travelling a little off the beaten path to more rural areas. The hostel offers a really great priced day tour to a number of the sights with a private driver, who was a really cool guy though he didn't speak English. Entry prices are not included for some of the stops though most of them are free. It was honestly one of the most comfortable, great value and beautiful days I experienced in all of Egypt. The location is great, right in the town and practically next door to the beautiful, swirly stoned Shali Fortress which you can visit at any time. Convenience stores, restaurants, souvenir shops etc all on your doorstep. The hostel is made up of 2 apartments facing each other on the first floor. I stayed in the apartment with 2 rooms, each with 2 beds. There was only one other guest the entire time I was there so I had my own room which was great. There is also a washing machine in one of the bathrooms so you can do your laundry anytime and my room had a balcony with a drying rack.

Abdu and his staff are so gentle, it was a great pleasure meeting them and my stay at Al-Manara was simply great. The bed is a single king size, fresh linen, it's a 2 beds room, bathroom is huge, common lounge, and access to the kitchen. Thanks for your hospitality, see you again!

Room, bed, bathroom even kitchen ok, Bathroom had a bum gun, important if one experience dodgy bowel movements, Breakfast ok, For the all important tour, I recommend skip Cleopatra springs in favour for Hayaat hot spring, much nicer and giant sand dunes aswell, Salt lakes? Make sure there will be the Instagram friendly small natural pools there aswell as the large constructed ones, You'll have to insist on these two requests, as everybody just wants to do the "standard" one,

“Feels like home! Abdou is an amazing person!”

Abdou is such a kind person, we did two different tours with him by tuk tuk, to the desert at sunset and to the salty lakes. Everything was incredible. Accomodation is comfortable and clean, Siwa is very dusty and he makes sure to clean the property all the time.

“Siwa is a very nice place to visit , different from the rest of Egypt. The landscape is mesmerizing. Alma Mara hostel is”

The property was very clean, in the city center close to the bus station and to typical restaurants and markets. The host Abdou was very friendly and helpful. I recommend staying here 100%.
