Discover Marcelia al-Salam

A story carved by nature

Feeling unfulfilled with the treadmill existence of western life and a passion for being environmentally sustainable, our founder embarked on a journey and was blessed to find the Siwa Oasis. Siwa offers the perfect balance of homely comforts and mother nature.

‘a passion for being environmentally sustainable’

Permaculture

From the start, we have aimed to develop our eco-resort in harmony with nature in order to preserve the natural beauty of Siwa. We cleared out the property of trees that were ill to make place for an intensive food forest. We organically grow coconuts, dates, olives, mango, mulberries, pears, strawberries, etc. Also lot’s of herbs and vegetables.We don’t use chemical fertilizers or pesticides and choose to work in harmony with nature.

Our Team

Marwa, a local Egyptian, Marcel, and our workers joined forces to make Marcelia-al-Salam a success. Their vision was to design the eco-resort as a working model of sustainability and a community to help green the desert in Egypt. A beautiful place, where the lakes of Siwa meet the green. But the true team that makes Marcelia al-Salam really run, is our dedicated staff and their kindness.
