There are some hotels you book for their location and then there are those that are the destination. This desert eco-lodge in Egypt’s Siwa oasis, built out of the earth and backed by palms, is a fine example of the latter. From a distance, it is hard to spot against the terrain, appearing like the remaining shell of a once impressive fortress. Step inside and you’ll find surprises at every turn. A maze of 40 irregularly shaped rooms, hand-carved from the ground up, are decorated in rich colours
