Al Tarfa

Scattered between ancient date trees half buried in sand, farm plots, and low rocky hills dotted with fox dens and potsherds attesting to millennia of human settlement, Al Tarfa’s 20 free-standing villas reference the geometric motifs of Dakhla Oasis’s eleventh-century mud-brick and palm-wood architecture. The place is especially romantic at night, with paths lit by cut-out clay vases, straw bird cages, and other traditional objects repurposed as lanterns. There’s a central lounge bar, a pool, a riding stable, and a small but exquisite spa to satisfy guests who want to chill out between desert camping and pharaonic sightseeing excursions. It is fully equipped with a sauna, steam room, indoor heated pool and massages are offered indoor or outdoor. Additionally, a relaxing terrace with an outdoor plunge pool allows you to unwind and enjoy the sun while gazing at an open-ended oasis landscape. There is also a gymnasium. Al-Mansoura, Dakhla Oasis.
