Spent New Years Eve at this hotel with a tour into the White Desert. Please call Peter for specific driving directions to reach the hotel from Cairo. We drove ourselves with no problems, having U.S. Passports. Five hours from Cairo to the hotel via Sheikh Zayed, and 4 hours on way back via 6th of October. Do not self drive via Mena. Road is in excellent condition, newly paved. Two gas stations on the drive between Cairo and the Oasis. Peter is an outstanding host, well organized, and with good wine in Peter's bar. The hiking behind the hotel is excellent, lots to see in the Black Desert. The one-night safari to white desert was incredible. Reminder that there is a 750LE or so fee per person that has to be paid to a ranger in the White Desert, normally at the famous rock. Dont miss crystal mountain.
