Heal like an Egyptian: Could the soul-baring simplicity of a trip to Adrère Amellal – in the remote Western Desert – become an odyssey of self-realisation?

Healing in the Egyptian Desert

Could a trip to Adrère Amellal in the remote Western Desert become an odyssey of self-realisation?

According to Delilah Khomo, Tatler's travel editor, the remote Siwa Oasis is a place where one can find enlightenment. The Adrère Amellal eco-lodge, constructed from sun-dried rock salt, clay and straw, is a unique destination.

Egypt seems to attract people who are looking for something, especially in its deserts and oases. In the void, you can really hear yourself.

The Siwa Oasis, located 50 kilometres from the border with Libya, is a place of epic proportions, situated on the edge of the Great Sand Sea. The oasis is known for its 'sand therapy', which is believed to have curative powers, particularly for musculoskeletal and skin conditions.

The simplicity and tranquility of the desert environment make it an ideal location for self-reflection and healing.
