“Very relaxing place. good hot spring”
We had a very relaxing 5‑day stay at Ayur and enjoyed it a lot. The owner, Karim, is very nice and helpful. He met us at the Siwa bus station early in the morning and allowed early check‑in. The room was clean when we entered and the furniture is brand new. The resort has a very nice hot‑spring pool, which was our favorite place, especially in cold winter nights. The space is very relaxing, the garden is full of pomegranate, lemon trees, and basil bushes, and it’s good for spending your own time. Wifi is strong, especially in the public areas of the resort. Karim can help you organize tours and is attuned to all your needs. The resort is out of town but the tuk‑tuk costs 100 EGP one way, and it’s easy to get. They offer drinking water in jars and we drank it throughout our stay, with no consequences. This is not specific to Ayur resort, but we saw it many times around Siwa that people rely a lot on take‑outs for meals. This is really bad, given the amount of garbage this practice creates, and the fact that a lot of that garbage is scattered around this beautiful oasis. So when we wanted lunch one occasion at Ayur, it also arrived in plastic packaging and wrappings. The same thing happened for our New Year’s dinner – it was all in styrofoam and plastic. Ayur provides drinking water in jars, however, most tourists still demand plastic bottles, although it is the same Siwa bottled water. My worry is how long it will take for Siwa to be completely buried in garbage with these practices.
