Nothing important

Amazing choice to stay in Farafra and explore White desert. Host‘s Ahmed attitude to his job is admirable: he really interests in guests needs and do everything to fulfil it, many thanks. Nice maintained and cozy hotel territory, big dinning room, very good and variuos breakfast. Dinner is perfect, various and very cheap – only 5 euro for person, portions are very big. Room is spacious, very clean, comfy. Hot water and big shower cabin, that is unusual in Egypt. Comfy beds, clean linen, sheets, blankets, many drinking water for free. Hosts arrange amaizing jeep safaries to the White desert, it is worth every euro we‘ve paid. Free and safe parking, they washed our car for free. Hotel is family runned and they work hard for guest could feel good and safe despite of hard conditions, autorities and police - they are not about help, but about obstruction only.

Everything about Rahala Safari Hotel was excellent. Ahmed and the entire staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast is excellent and plentiful, dinner is tasty and plentiful. The lounge with the fire lit is wonderful and you feel like a Bedouin while drinking tea after dinner. The hotel has a beautiful garden with flowers and fruit trees, ideal for drinking tea or coffee.

I resrved two nights at Rahala Safari Hotel, so I must say, the cleanliness of the hotel exceeded my expectations. The rooms were immaculate, and the attention to detail was evident throughout. Additionally, the staff was exceptionally helpful, providing excellent service with a friendly and welcoming attitude. My overall experience was delightful, thanks to the hotel's commitment to cleanliness and outstanding support from the staff.

EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT!

From the first moment we arrived until the end of our stay we felt very welcome in the Rahala Safari Hotel. It's owned by a Bedouin family and they work hard to make you happy. The room was very clean and the beds super comfortable. We had also a little boiler to prepare coffee and tea (provided by them) and a basket of fresh fruit. Breakfast and dinner were delicious and abound. The little domes are surrounded by a beautiful garden. Because they asked a copy of the passports already before arriving they noticed that one of us celebrated his 80th birthday and they prepared a beautiful cake for him! What a surprise. The day after we had a 24 hours tour in the white desert with Hamada and Hamooh which was really great. We felt safe and they spoiled us with awesome spots, good food and their kindness. We want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH and we wish you all the best. Love from Monika, Kathrin and Pietro.

Everything

This is one of the best family run hotel we have ever stayed. The owner Ahmed and his family are the best for hospitality. They provided tasty local authentic Bedouin food. The hotel is clean, spacious with special designs. They treated us like family. The best part was excursion to White Desert National Park, what a great experience. Ahmed’s brother Mohammed drove us to the park in the morning and we stayed in the desert overnight, visited sand dunes, oasis, new and old part of park, appreciated unique rock formations, great meals prepared in the desert, we also went to the hot spring near the town and relaxed in the hot spring. Finally, the prices for excursion, hotel and exchange of Egyptian pound are very reasonable, I wish we could stay a little longer, very highly recommended for anyone .

fantastic place I have ever seen in Egypt, exotic buildings and garden, and hotelier gave us a very cheerful and deep chat experience, barrier-free English communication. And local people are also very friendly.

Ahmed is the nicest person who arranged us a super stay. Everything was perfect at his hotel including attitude to guests, breakfast, dinner and evening fire sitting. We’ll remember his place as well as a day dessert trip he nicely made for us. The most thank I’d like to say about painting hi gifted to us, it’s decorating my room and reminding me about him, Egypt and endless dessert I’ve been lucky to see.

We pretty much liked everything – it’s just extremely pleasant!

This is a clean, reasonably priced, and very pleasant place right in Farafra (with excellent food - something that is hard to find!). Ahmed, the proprietor, is exceptionally nice and interesting to talk to (and speaks very good English). We spent quite a bit of time in all of the oases in Egypt, and this is one of our two favorite places that we stayed.

Really clean and great hotel in Farafra. Owners are extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast and dinner are really nice and you have plenty of choices. We book tours with them and it was excellent, good quality car, driver was also reliable and drove safely that is unique in Egypt. I could just recommend them.

Entering this Farafra village is like entering the Forbidden City in China. There are policemen and soldiers and armored vehicles holding the entrance of the village, checking the documents and taking us to the hotel in person, and then when we set off, they also specially came to take us out of the village, which made us feel very nervous

This small hotel made me feel at home, they had turned on the air conditioner before we arrived at the hotel, fresh fruit was prepared in the room in advance, and the surrounding service facilities were explained clearly, showing that the hotel staff were very informative and took care of us

Very accommodating. Got a booster so had great internet. Room had fruit basket, a kettle, coffee, tea, water and a fridge with freezer for my ice packs. Very helpful and showed me a short cut through the desert on a paved highway. Had awesome trek of the White Desert with owner's brother Ahmed. Doing a road trip through the desert this was a very welcome comfortable stay.
