Siwa Lodging?

Hello fellow travelers -

Anyone ever stay at the Shali Lodge??

Any other good / affordable places to stay in Siwa?

We have never stayed at Shali but we ate there and the whole complex is beautiful. If you are looking for something of that standard, Shali is your only option.

I too have Shali Lodge on my radar, but any other suggestions for the better of the budget hotels in case Shali is full? With only 8 rooms I suspect they stay busy. Any experience with Palm Trees, Cleopatra etc?

Thanks,
K
