Abu Adam's open and friendly manner creates a space in which you feel comfortable. Very hospitable. Free pick-up from the center. Great quiet place. Everything kept very simple. Good water from own spring. Bathing in the salt lake and then in the warm spring - fantastic and all - literally - one step out of the door. If you are looking for peace and simplicity and need little comfort, go there. Just try it out, I can highly recommend it. Thank you and see you soon.

“M biama Island.”

The kindness and hospitality of Abu and Ibrahim. The two people who are in the hostel. I recommend it 100%.

“Love Siwa and M Biama Island, must visit for anyone!”

It's very easy to organise trips around Siwa and go to all of the sights around the town like the salt lakes and mountains and hot springs. Also I love sitting around the fire at night! The energy of the camp is very calm and peaceful and comfortable.

“Had a lovely time!”

My room was very comfortable and the camp had great walks nearby. The trips I wanted to take around siwa were organised by the camp easily and were very fun and affordable! Staff were friendly and polite, helping me with everything I needed. Would come back again in a heartbeat <3

“I will miss the sunsets over the lake at M Biama Island, truly special!”

The location is amazing, surrounded by the lake and mountains, it's beautiful to watch the sunset here every evening. The staff have become like family and bonus points for the cutest little dog! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful camp in Siwa.

“A peaceful retreat into nature.”

Absolute peace, natural beauty and safety. As a female solo traveller this was the perfect place to discover a more remote part of siwa. The family run camp made me feel totally at home in a faraway place. I didn’t want to leave!

“It was so wonderful I extended for an additional week!”

The staff on the island were very welcoming. All excursions were sorted out easily with the camp manager and the location is unbeatable, very peaceful and beautiful with lots of nearby walks, swimming, and a stones throw from the mountains.

“Definitely recommend coming here!^^”

Had an awesome and super relaxing vacation! The stay was comfy, and the service was beyond amazing:6

I clearly stand by my previous comment and take the opportunity to add that the caretaker was very insistent on offering massage (to other women as well) which was totally inappropriate and against the local culture. Can’t say you haven’t been warned.

“Spectacular!”

Everything literally Everything…. The Place, the magnificent Sunset, the stars at night. The staff who became like family… The Vibes Everything!

I've had one of the most unpleasant stay at this accommodation. The island itself is pretty, while the facilities are extremely basic but the real problem is the caretaker. Firstly, it's very isolated, you can't just hail a cab or tuktuk to head to town or sightseeing. Food is clearly an issue as nothing's available. Breakfast is included but no drinks are (tea or coffee). Secondly, there's no sheltered area therefore if you happened to visit on a windy day, you're stuck in your room as it gets very cold and the lake water flushes overboard. Thirdly, the shower wasn't working, only a cold drip was coming out of the shower head. Later I learned that a water heater had to be switched on but that didn't address the dripping problem. Therefore NO SHOWER. Breakfast is served at the caretaker's timetable discretion well after 10am. There's no lunch on offer and you have to trust the caretaker to bring you dinner from town (arrived cold). Never saw the change btw. I did one excursion, for which I was clearly overcharged (as the 3 others ladies) and it was shortened as the caretaker had other plans. When we complained, we were told that we had to see the sunset from the island, which of course (we knew beforehand) didn't happen as the wind was bringing sand in from the desert... During that excursion, the caretaker had INAPPROPRIATE behavior towards me while I was rinsing off after a dip in the salt lake! The morning I departed, the caretaker tried once more again to dictate my schedule at which point I told him he had absolutely no right to, and ordered him to get me a tuktuk as I wasn't going to put up with his manipulative attitude any further. He became VERY AGGRESSIVE and marched on me, trying to impress me - not sure if he would have become physical or not, but being one head taller and plenty of people around, it didn't scare me.

“MISLEADING”

Dear abu Adam, This is a reply to your response to my comments. Thank you for your response. While I appreciate you taking the time to address my feedback, I feel the need to clarify a few points regarding my experience at your property: 1. Transportation: It’s not accurate to say that guests have the option to order taxis or tuk-tuks, as there were no such services available during my stay. I understand that you were busy managing other responsibilities, but this left us with no one to assist with basic needs like transportation. 2. Staff Availability: There was only one staff member, Abu Adam, managing the entire property. While I appreciate his efforts, he was primarily occupied with leading other groups to the Siwa Oasis. This left my friends and me without anyone on-site to address our needs. 3. Facilities (Shower): I’m not exaggerating when I say the shower was not functioning properly. The water was literally dripping, making it impossible to take a proper shower. I encourage you to check this issue, as I’m certain other guests will notice the same. 4. Food Service: Regarding your mention of food options, I’d like to clarify that while I was willing to order meals, there was no one available to cook for us. The kitchen was there in name only, as Abu Adam was busy taking tourists on excursions. The only option was to order food from the market, which he would pick up for us. However, this doesn’t align with the expectation of having meals prepared on-site as part of the service. 5. Atmosphere: I enjoy peaceful, quiet places, but your property felt more isolating than relaxing. The lack of basic facilities, proper lighting, and support made it feel restrictive rather than tranquil. I’m sharing this feedback not to criticize but to help you understand the reality of my experience. It’s important for future guests to have a clear picture of what to expect. I hope you take these concerns seriously and work towards improving the guest experience.

Had an amazing time in Siwa thanks to Abu! Location is perfect and vibes are so cool☀️

Amazing place , crazy view, nice hosts.

“Great getaway in the desert oasis”

I really enjoyed this hostel. It was a camp out of town with private rooms. The rooms were naturally cool inside to get out of the heat. The host was very nice and helpful and they even pick you up at the bus station. The location is out of town but wonderful...you can feel at peace and just feel pure relaxation. There was a hot spring pool which I loved, Plenty of lounge chairs and even a fire pit. You are right beside a salt lake in case you want to take a dip in the water also or go on a kayak. They can also arrange a tour if you like.

“Very nice owner, beautiful place away from the city, amazing price if you’re on a budget”

Quiet place and nice view. Nice to learn more about life in Siwa and agriculture. I felt welcomed.

Silence and unity with nature

This place is real Magic
