Desert Lodge
In the New Valley Governorate, specifically in the Dakhla Oasis, Desert Lodge was built in 2004 in the Islamic village of Al-Qasr. It was designed using locally sourced materials, with rooms constructed from mud bricks and palm fronds, doors made from acacia wood, and windows featuring mashrabiya screens constructed from desert branches. The Desert Lodge occupies 7,500 square meters and comprises three floors with 32 rooms. The hotel's pathways are designed in the colors of the mountains and desert. At the entrance, there is a large chessboard, next to a traditional Bedouin tent for evening gatherings, and outside, a barbecue area for roasting lamb. The lodge also includes a family restaurant, an artesian studio, and a 250-meter-deep artesian well, providing therapeutic benefits for hotel guests.
