About The Hotel
Welcome to El Beyt: Your Home in Egypt
The Arabic word “Beyt” means not only “house” but also embodies the concept of “home.” At El Beyt Farm Hotel, we strive to create a homely and welcoming atmosphere where traditional Egyptian village architecture meets modern comforts. Nestled in the serene landscape of Qasaa, near the end of Mandisha’s garden road, our hotel offers a perfect retreat for relaxation, yoga, and meditation
