Lazib Inn

The Lazib Inn is a veritable desert oasis which feels a universe away from the hustle and bustle of Cairo, yet is only 1.5 hours from Giza and 2 plus hours from the city. Located in the atmospheric village of Tunis – famous for its artisan potters – the hotel is set in idyllic gardens and overlooks Caroun Lake. The hotel offers two pools, one for adults only and one for families, as well as a small gym and spa. The vibe is adobe buildings, brightly coloured mosaics and paintwork which reflect local sunflowers and butterflies, and fresh tropical juices, and the tempo is slow. This would be a treasure to visit in its own right, but what makes the hotel additionally attractive is that its location is the gateway to the Sahara desert and fabulous adventure touring.
