Siwa – Fjallaskálar

Shiam Peng Singapúr

I was originally supposed to only stay one night at Paloma Lodge from 6 Nov to 7 Nov, but because I enjoyed my stay here so much, I decided to extend for 4 more nights, only checking out on 10 Nov instead. Paloma Lodge is very well located, with only about 5 mins’ walk away from Siwan town centre where all the restaurants, cafés and shops are located. Apart from that, it’s only a stone’s throw away from a fresh water spring, where it’s perfect for an early morning or mid-afternoon swim. The host, Captain Nair, is super kind, warm and hospitable! He made me feel very welcomed and because I was a solo female traveller, he would check on me when I’m out later in the evening. In fact, he invited me to dinners at the lodge with lovely meals, either prepared by the good Captain himself, or his lovely housekeeper, Safie! The lodge is very tastefully decorated and kept very clean. The one-room apartment that I stayed in was very cosy and was sufficiently equipped with kitchen appliances, such as; electric kettle, toaster oven and a fridge. I will definitely stay at Paloma Lodge again, when I come back to Siwa!! It was a very enjoyable and cosy homestay which felt like you are with family. A home away from home.

What a great place to stay. Siwa is a very hard city to get to, but once there, you will love its people and sights. We were lucky to stay at this hotel; they were so helpful, setting up all activities we requested and always there for us. While its location is removed from the city itself, it is very easy to get a toktok to drive you around. I highly recommend this place, you will love it.

The location is great, one minute from the main square of the city, and within five minutes from all the local shops and restaurants. The simple design of the hotel is beautiful and fascinating, but what really makes it worth it is the kind host Mohammed which helped us organize all the activities in Siwa. Also a big shout out to our amazing tuk tuk driver (or better say ferrari driver) Mohammed, which took us EVERYWHERE in Siwa. Even though it is not part of the hotel I would like to give a little bit of visibility to the Siwa Terracotta School, which is less than five minutes walking from Albabenshal. You need to support their beautiful work and talented artists, and there you can find the best souvenirs in Egypt.
