That I had to leave. :-D Everything was great!

I recently stayed at Northern Lake Lodge, and it was an unforgettable experience that highly exceeded my expectations. Located just a couple hours from the hustle and bustle of Cairo, the peaceful setting, with a beautiful view of the desert, calmed me instantly, and my simple yet clean and cozy tent welcomed me each evening with a warm, comfortable bed. The unique decor and attention to detail was lovely and didn't go unoticed. The meals were delicious, offering fresh, flavorful Egyptian cuisine and dining on the terrace or outside my tent's table, looking at the view was memorable. The full day desert tour was The Best! I had a once in a lifetime experience with my fabulous Bedouin guide, Walid, who was passionate about sharing the beauty of what Fayoum had to offer. The dreamy landscapes and variety of the desert was unlike any I've seen -- and I've been to many deserts around the world. Don't forget to look at the sky at night. Truly magical! The staff, including the owner, Nasr, were exceptional--attentive, welcoming, and they went out of their way to make my stay there memorable. Waheed, the soft and lovable Lodge dog, provided comfort and companionship and made sure I was safe when I went for walks. She was a pleasure to have around. I LOVE her! If you're looking for a unique and peaceful desert escape, Northern Lake Lodge is the perfect choice. I will be back!

Not really their fault but the camp next to us was very loud. We wanted a quiet camping area experience.

The camp itself is nice and the host was very helpful and communicative. Nice camp fire at night. Good food.

It was a bit hard to find the guys in the bushes. Especially without internet connection and in the late evening. I suppose it's better to separate "tent' and "bungalow"/'wooden cabin" not only "tent". I would say that the price is a bit too high․

Awesome quiet place. Great helpful hosts (could be without English depends on the shift). Mosquito repellent inside the tent. Comfortable mattress with clean linen. Tasty oriental breakfast with a great view. Guys let me use their stove to brew my coffee.

Fantastic place with very humble and always helpful Mr Mohammed as owner who knows the area well. The wooden cabin houses are beautiful and absolutely sufficient. The location is favourable for exploring the area including Wadi Al Hitan and Wadi El Rayan.

I liked everything!

I like everything… The room was amazing and the food as well! The owner of the Camp is completely an amazing guy and all his worker’s too. They helped us a lot in many things that we were asking and we really appreciate that help. They are kind and very hospitable people! May God bless this place! I was able to see the stars too by using their telescope! I had a lot of fun!

Some tents have beds and some have mattresses on the ground so make sure you know which one you would like and book accordingly. But the tents are very nice and comfortable

The location id amazing to disconnect from busy city life and enjoy the beauty of the desert and oasis. I enjoyed talking walks around the area, the silence and the friendliness of Mohamed and other staff. Highly recommend

No wifi. Dog barking a lot at night.

Nice location, beautiful view on the lake and surrounding moutains. Simple but good food. Manager extremely kind and helpful (he dropped us a couple of times in Tunis town without charging us). Beautiful trip in the desert. It’s 10 minutes by car to Tunis

Mangrove Camp in Fayoum surpassed all of my expectations. Arriving after midnight, I awoke to find myself in a stunning and secluded getaway. Mohammed, one of the property's owners, is absolutely lovely to chat with—easygoing and friendly. His insider's knowledge as a local provided wonderful suggestions for things to do around Fayoum. I had both breakfast and dinner on my two night stay there and found the food to be excellent and healthy. The location is so peaceful and beautiful that, on my first day, chose not to venture out of it, instead dedicating the day to relaxing and recovering from my travels. The energy that Mohammed and his partner have created at Mangrove is replenishing and what makes this place truly special. I will definitely be coming back next time in Egypt.

The dog in Mangrove followed our every step and he loves scaring flamingos away Also, the tents are built in such a way that the wind moves the walls to bump into the poles with huge strength, causing a lot of noise - we couldn't sleep at night. When it's windy, pick a tent close to the middle

Good food (paid separately) The host concise and the to-the-point Amazing location, beautiful views, flamingos and the stars. A trip to Wadi Hitan was organized by the host and was also great

The accommodation was very well located, clean and very attractive. The owners were super nice, very accommodating and I would definitely recommend this place to others. We had a very good time!

The local campsite dog was up all night barking which made it difficult to sleep.

We loved the location on lake Qaroon and the edge of the desert. The food was great and staff were always helpful and friendly. The cabins are really well designed and comfortable and you have amazing views while lying in bed. Will definitely go back.

The place is calm and well organized, Mohamed and the staff are decent and so friendly without overstepping which gave me the chance to totally relax. Of course we shouldn't leave "Waheda" the dog out of the story, she made my sunset and sunrise walkings more enjoyable.

Nothing!

Our short stay here was the highlight of our trip. There is something very magical about this place! It is so very peaceful and quaint. The views from the rooftop where you can relax or eat are stunning. Watching the sunrise from there was well worth the early wake up. The staff were very helpful waiting up for us while we arrived late, and helped us return to Cairo with ease. I cannot recommend this place more, and truly wish we got to spend more time here. We will be back for sure!

The price which was a little bit too high, for simple tents. i would recommend some simple improvements which would have been nice: some towels. and maybe a little table or chair in the tents as there is no space to put your belongings. same thing for the bathrooms when taking the shower... it is not easy to hang all the cloths on only 2 nails... the dogs who lived at the camp were cute and nice, but too noisy sometimes at night barking...

Amazing staff. great off-the-beaten track location. there is a very nice 6h tour (and afforable) by jeep into the desert to see great spots (beautiful "magic lake", famous local waterfall, drive into the sand and stones desert, visit of amazing valley of the whales). for another day escusion it is possible to do a little boat tour on the lake and see for exemple the great Tunis village for some beautiful pottery purchases. however more than 2 or 3 days would be too much to find something else to do so 2 full days are ideal in our opinion. Food was absolutly amazing for both dinner and breakfast. Lots of chilling cozy spots around the little camp with great peacefull views

Google maps location is misleading. We drove into the desert and our car was stuck. Turns out there are 2 mangrove camp locations. One is right one is not. Try to be sure before you move to avoid dying in the desert. :D Correct way is paved and strightforward, so don't worry.

A very different, adventurous weekend in Mangrove camp! Also not far away from Cairo and very affordable. I have always wanted to try camping and wow! I am so happy I did. I went with my spouse, slept in a tent on the floor. There was an option for a tent with beds for the same price bit we wanted to have the full experience. Tents are clean and white and you have the basics. A fan, a plug to charge your phone or to plug in a mosquito repellent that comes with the tent. Beautiful sightseeings nearby. We saw flamingos at the nearby park. And at night you can go to Tunis village. Also the breakfast is world-class simply. Delicious and generous quantities! Hosts are super friendly and helped us when we got lost on arrival. So happy! Thank you so much really. We will definitely come back.

Slightly difficult to find at night

10/10 what an amazing find! The owners are so helpful and thoughtful. The breakfast was incredible. They kindly made us dinner as we arrived late in the evening. The facilities are so beautiful and the sunrise in the morning couldn't be beat. Be sure to give lonely a pat when you arrive!

This is the perfect place if you are looking for silence, nature, solitude and time to relax off from the city, rush and people. I really really enjoyed my stay of three nights, you will have the nicest and kindest hosts that will take the best care of you to make you feel good and comfortable. The food was delicious and self made by the hosts, and for the days they also offer tours to the surroundings.
