“Unique Accommodation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2009

person found this review helpful

This unique hotel is styled in a charming, rustic theme. Each individual bungalow is crafted out of natural materials. Rooms are decorated very nicely, with exposed stone walls, arches and domed ceilings.

Unfortunately, not all rooms have air-con, and can be very hot in the summer. So ensure your room has air-con if you're staying in the hot months. There is a pool, so you can cool down there. They were building a hot spa while we were there too, and expanding the number of rooms.

The dining area and gardens were quite nice. There wasn't any screening around the dining area, so eating can be a little uncomfortable due to the flies in summer. There is also a cute play area for young children.

This shouldn't be listed under "Cairo" because it is situated in Bawity, near Baharia Oasis. It's not easy to find, none of the streets are marked, and there aren't any signs pointing the way. It's probably best to rely on locals to direct you here. This hotel is located in a very quiet area.

Staff are very polite and friendly. Overall, a great place to stay.

“Little paradise in the desert”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 May 2007

Qasr el Bawity Resort was really a great surprise.
The hotel is built according to eco-friendly building techniques and with local materials.
Rooms are very nice and spacious, built with local stones that means that they stay fresh even in the hottest days.
The lodge has also a swimming pool and an incredible private natural hot spring (veeery hot!).
Garden is colorful and is the perfet location where you can have a mint tea under the moon.
Restaurant serves local food. Quality is very good.
The only minus: the resort is still under construction and locals work at night because of the hot temperature during the day causing very noisy night!
