There are just 20 simple but elegant rooms and suites in total, complete with carved wooden furniture and decorated with traditional textiles.

The central part of the lodge is home to a library, a bar, a small spa, pool and even a riding stable from where guests can explore the local Dakhla Dunes Park on horse or camel-back. Other activities on offer include guided tours of Dakhla, local ancient ruins and hot springs and of course the great White Desert itself.
