The remote and tiny Siwa oasis is brimming with spectacular eco-chic hotel options (including Talist eco-lodge and most notably the luxe monastic eco-resort Adrère Amellal) all of them unique and memorable in their own rights. But I must admit, I have a personal favorite. My heart belongs to Al-Babinshal.

Al-Babinshal gets my vote for the most authentic hideaway in Siwa Oasis. It offers a truly one-of-a-kind experience and its location takes the cake. This stunning traditional Berber-style heritage hotel is practically attached to Shali Ghadi, the rock-salt-and-natural-clay 13th century citadel that is the very heart of Siwa and its fascinating history.

A maze of tunnels and stairways connects the cool and serene desert-style rooms, seemingly art-directed with their monochromatic earthy palette, date-palm furniture and traditional wooden-shuttered windows. The rooftop restaurant is hands-down the most romantic dining spot in Siwa with its sweeping views of the oasis and front row seating to the most spectacular North African sunsets.
