Tache By The Lake

“A great stay and vibes”

The vibe, style, and tasty food, the night campfire with the special tea flavor, astronomy with Ms. Laila, and the great staff hospitality were all perfect. Nothing was lacking.

The staff were very welcoming and helpful; Lobna, the manager, was very cooperative, and Ahmed did his best to make our stay comfortable. The food was really, really good.

“Wonderful stay in a magical spot with a friendly staff”

The staff are very friendly. The facility sits by the lake on a magical spot within walking distance of Ryan waterfall. The food is very delicious, and they offer a complimentary tea on the fire after dinner. Special thanks to Mr. Haitham, Mahmoud and Khaled who facilitated our stay and made it comfortable and exceptional. I would repeat again, but when the weather is milder than in summer. No minibar fridge and no handwashing or shampoo in the shower room.

“If you go with all this in mind, I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as we did. Highly recommended!”

A place right on the shores of Wadi El Rayan—an oasis in the middle of the desert. Located right by the lake with its own spacious grounds, it feels like a desert oasis. The waterfall is only 1.5 km away, just a 5‑minute drive. Parking is in front of your room, and wheelchair ramps are available; we had no trouble reaching our room with our elderly mother. Rooms are spacious and comfortable—3 or 4 people can stay with ease. The food is delicious. In the evenings, a Bedouin night is held around the fire with special aromatic teas served. Breakfast is a truly authentic Egyptian local experience. Sandboarding, felucca rides, and horse riding are all available on the property; you only need to leave for the safari and other key spots in the area. The safari apparently covers all the important points within the National Park, but we unfortunately didn't get to try it due to limited time. Hithem, the manager, stands out with his warm and helpful communication style, making your stay noticeably more enjoyable; the rest of the staff are equally kind and welcoming. The hotel is located within a National Park, so if you're driving yourself, foreign visitors are charged a $10 entry fee at the gate, while Egyptian citizens pay 25 Egyptian Pounds (payable by credit card). May–June can be extremely hot; we were only able to do outdoor activities after 5 PM. November–April is said to be the ideal period. Bathroom was a bit dusty, which might simply be the nature of being in the desert. A quick extra clean before check‑in would have made it perfect. Other than that, we had no complaints at all.

Best location, with the best view, and the staff were super friendly. I would definitely go again. Best place if you want to completely unwind. I expected the fetir and bread to be freshly baked, so I was a bit disappointed, but honestly the hotel feels like an amazing retreat.
