Wadi Sabarah Lodge

Mal etwas anderes sehr schöne Ambiente Schönes Riff Absolut ruhig Zum Abschalten sehr zu empfehlen.

I stayed at Wadi Sabarah for ten days in June 2025, and it was the most heavenly and peaceful holiday. No kids, no chaos, no „touristy“ vibes. Just the rare luxury of silence, excellent hospitality, slow living and a sustainable environment. Having traveled far and wide, I can say Wadi Sabarah is truly unique and would come back in a heartbeat. I recommend that you look nofurther if you are looking for something like that. This place and its cultured atmosphere is a 12 out of 10. The most important thing: Everything at Wadi Sabarah is made and done with love. Such things are very rare in this world, so the hotel is a quiet kind of miracle. It is obvious that the owner Sami loves this place and tends to it like it was the light of his life. He and his team have put a lot of thought and effort into creating an upscale vibe which is eco-friendly but still lavish, and ultimately reflects the country's rich history, its long-standing legacy of hospitality, and its grace. The staff at Wadi Sabarah is truly exceptional — it is their dedication and care that make this place not just functional, but truly unique. Their hard work might often go unnoticed or taken for granted, but it made all the difference to me in creating a wonderful experience of quiet luxury. F&B manager Nabil goes to great lengths to make sure that all guests have a great experience, moving quietly and discreetly, he knows all names, room numbers and personal preferences in the blink of an eye and, with his great knowledge and expertise, he is the go-to person for all kinds of recommendations and requests. His staff is outstanding, especially Sherif, Mina and Imad were very attentive to all guests. As I was travelling alone, it was important to me that I could enjoy my meals peacefully and quietly, which was respected and supported by placing me in quiet corners, but they also always had time for a quick chat. Said, the baker, kindly let me try to make my own Egyptian bread, which was so funny. Chico, the poolboy, is so helpful and always looks out for all guests. A round of chess with the manager was greatly appreciated. At reception, Hassen greets you warmly and handles every request patiently and efficiently. The friendly housekeeping keeps the rooms spotless and comfortable, making sure everything feels just right. The proud gardeners maintain the grounds beautifully, creating a peaceful and inviting atmosphere. The cleaning crew quietly does their job with love. Truly, the staff's hard work and their love for this place shows in every detail. Shokran to everyone who made me feel at home here. The architecture, construction materials and interior design at Wadi Sabarah have been chosen with great respect to excellence, the environment and reverence for a desert aesthetic. You can see that the place was carefully planned, with a lot of attention to details and allowing for the luxury of wide open spaces which really let me feel at peace and at one with the surroundings.

An amazing place, very down to earth, very simple and grounding. It is a place where you go and disconnect with all electronics, so no TVs and no phone in the room. They have this QR code that you scan in case you want to communicate with customer service to ask for an extra towel, room cleaning ... Anything you need. They have a diving center, they are plastic free, so they give you a glass bottle that you can refill when necessary. I would recommend you get your flask so you can easily carry it around and refill whenever. A very serene view, I believe all rooms are sea view. I'll show you some pictures! Enjoy!!

Everything is so beautiful- peaceful and quiet.The lodge is amazingly designed sympathetic to the environment with stunning views and beautiful lighting and textures . The staff were very friendly, helpful and professional, food was Egyptian - fresh and delicious.A perfect setting to relax and recharge with lots of interesting excursions if you want to. A refreshing change from normal big Egyptian hotels if you are looking for something different in Egypt. The botanical gardens, made with love and a vision to save and regenerate rare plants from the desert are absolutely amazing. Thanks to all staff and Management and specialthanks yo Mariam who made our stay easy and was our guide to discover the Gallary.

No TV, No WIFI (or so bad might aswell not be there), No lift and no choice at all in the food and the very expensive bar is the way I could summarise this experience. The food was well below average for a 2/3 star hotel, and there is literally no shop or restaurant near by an unforgettable experience for all the wrong reasons.

Should have been good, but wasn’t I have to say that the room I had (302) was really great; it had a massive bed and was clean with a good view of the sea. The air con worked and the ceiling fan also gave extra help. There was a kettle plus two cups, ordinary tea bags and mint tea bags, and the mini fridge was stocked with two large bottles of water, two cans of Coke and two cans of Sprite. There was a one (two) pack of Ferrero Rochet and there should have been a Snickers and Chips (crisps) but that was hit and miss through the whole time. Let me re-iterate there is no phone in the room, so you had to use a QR code to contact reception which manifested itself as emails back and forth. Also, there was no TV either. There was a safe, but not large enough to put in a small laptop. The food at the hotel for a vegetarian was sub-standard which was very disappointing. This was the same for breakfast and dinner. I don’t know what the lunch-time menu was like. Also, there wasn’t a choice of selection in the evening. It was either one or the other. I say this now, as the mini bar was not stocked up again each day and I can’t recall how many times I had to email to ask for stuff. Wi-fi in the room was so hit and miss; one minute it would be good and the next it was non-existent. Also, if you like a cold shower, you won’t get one in the room. The Dive Centre was ok, although the shore dives were average. Also, the boat dives tend to moor at the same location even though you are doing two dives; I do wonder if that’s the right strategy given that you tend to see the same stuff. Be careful of their “No show” policy which wasn’t great; I informed them that I was too ill to dive the Night Dive which they then cancelled as it was too rough, and I still got charged 10 Euros! One saving grace was Mido; what a fab dive guide he was. They other guys at the Emperor Dive Finally, I don’t know why, but on the last morning I was asked to for a tip; that was new to me in Egypt, and I wonder why. This wasn’t a cheap dive 7-day break so wasn’t expecting that. So, all in all, it should have been a good experience, but it wasn’t! I would avoid this hotel unless it has some serious attention.
