Lazib Inn Resort & Spa

Crowning a green hillside overlooking Lake Qarun is the Fayoum-style Lazib Inn Resort & Spa. The pink clay exterior encases a series of luxury suites, each with its own artful touches. These bright, spacious rooms give the hotel a home-from-home feel, with a touch of luxury at every turn – from the bathroom jacuzzi to the fine Egyptian Cotton bedding.

Outdoors, Lazib Inn’s hillside location makes it the perfect place for a swim with a view. Dip into the palm-lined infinity pools and you’ll have the incredible desert oasis as your backdrop. Or watch migrating birds rest at the vast lake as you sip a cocktail beside the water. If culture is what you are after, you can take a day trip to Cairo's spectacular Giza Pyramids.

Just beyond the hotel is the art-filled village of Tunis. From here you can hire a rowing boat and set sail on Lake Qarun, or head South to the enchanting Fayoum city. Explore ancient archaeological sites and go even further back in time as you discover historical Egyptian wildlife through fossil remains. Take a 4x4 trek through the dunes, go on a camel excursion or explore the oasis on horseback. If you venture a little further out to Medinet Madi, you’re rewarded with Pharaonic temples and an historic archaeological park. Round off your desert adventures back at the hotel with a treatment in the spa or a stint in the jacuzzi as the sun sets over the desert.
