The Roaming Girl Who Fell in Love with Siwa

Once in my life, I felt a deep need to explore a third dimension of my existence—a journey to rediscover myself. I longed to escape the chaos of noisy cities and immerse myself in a simpler, quieter environment where time seemed to slow down, and life felt more meaningful. My search for such a place led me to Siwa Oasis, a hidden gem in the vast Egyptian desert.

As I arrived, I was captivated by the untouched beauty of Siwa, but little did I know, this journey would not only connect me with the land but also with someone who shared an undying love for it. I met Mr. Dadom, a true son of Siwa. Having grown up surrounded by its golden dunes, ancient palm groves, and serene hot springs, Mr. Dadom had a vision—a dream to create a sanctuary where others could see Siwa as he saw it.

That vision came to life in Gazrashek Siwa Eco Lodge. Built in the traditional Siwan style, Gazrashek is not just a place to stay; it’s an experience that allows guests to live, breathe, and feel the essence of Siwa. Its natural materials, hand-crafted decorations, and tranquil atmosphere mirror the simplicity and beauty of the oasis itself.

I was deeply inspired by Mr. Dadom’s passion and the authentic charm of Gazrashek. So much so, that I chose to settle down here and become part of this unique project. Together, we’ve worked to create an environment that doesn’t just host guests but welcomes them as family, offering an immersive experience of Siwa’s traditions, nature, and timeless serenity.

Here at Gazrashek, every sunrise fills your soul with warmth, the golden sands invite you to explore their mysteries, and the natural hot springs rejuvenate your body and mind. Whether you’re relaxing under the endless blue sky, enjoying the simple yet delicious Siwan cuisine, or strolling through the nearby salt lakes and palm groves, Siwa feels like a place that exists outside of time—an oasis of peace.

So here I am, hosting travelers from all over the world with open arms, no matter where you come from or who you are. Gazrashek Siwa Eco Lodge is a space for everyone—a haven where you can escape, reconnect with yourself, and experience the magical charm of Siwa.

Come join us. Let us share with you the beauty of this extraordinary place that has captivated my heart and soul. Let Siwa, and Gazrashek, be your escape and your home away from home.

Safe travels,
The Roaming Girl of Siwa
