A Place Shaped by the Oasis.
Before Old Oasis became a hotel, it was simply an old Bahariya home surrounded by palms, traditional houses and the quiet rhythm of everyday oasis life.
Before the Hotel, There Was a Home.
The story of Old Oasis did not begin with a hotel. It began with an old home in Bahariya Oasis — surrounded by palms, mud-brick houses and the traditional life of the oasis.
Travelers arriving in Bahariya were looking for something different. They wanted more than a room. They wanted to experience the oasis itself: its people, its palms, its quiet evenings and its natural rhythm.
The old house became a place where visitors could feel closer to that life. Over time, that simple experience became the foundation for what would later become Old Oasis Safari & Hotel.
The idea was never to separate guests from the oasis — it was to bring them closer to it.
From an Old Home to Old Oasis.
A story that grew naturally from the place itself, while keeping the character of Bahariya at its heart.
An Old Oasis Home
The original place was a traditional home surrounded by palm trees and the everyday life of Bahariya Oasis.
Travelers Came for the Oasis
Visitors were drawn to the chance to experience real oasis life rather than staying somewhere disconnected from the local surroundings.
Old Oasis Opens
El Hajj Saleh developed the old home into Old Oasis while preserving the atmosphere and character that made the place special.
Stay & Explore
Today, Old Oasis combines authentic oasis hospitality with journeys into the White Desert and Egypt’s Western Desert.
Growing Without Losing What Made It Special.
Old Oasis was developed as a hotel, but the goal was never to erase the character of the original place.
Traditional architecture, palm-filled surroundings and the feeling of being inside a real oasis remain central to the experience.
The result is not a conventional city hotel transplanted into the desert. It is a place that belongs to Bahariya.
