Tucked away in the heart of Wadi El Rayan, Fayoum’s stunning protected desert landscape, Remal el Rayan Glamp isn’t your average campsite. It’s Egypt’s first ultra-luxurious glamping retreat—where elegance meets wild beauty, and where you can soak in the stillness of the desert without giving up a single comfort.
This isn’t just a place to sleep. It’s a destination in itself.
Where the Desert Meets Design
Built with sustainability and style in mind, Remal el Rayan blends effortlessly into its surroundings. Think domed tents, neutral tones, and flowing, dune-like architecture that mirrors the very land it’s built on. The entire retreat was carefully designed to protect the environment while elevating your stay—offering all the perks of a boutique hotel but in the middle of Egypt’s most dramatic desert oasis.
You won’t find plastic tents or sleeping bags here. Instead, expect plush king-sized beds, air conditioning, high-end linens, and hot showers—all inside your private desert suite.
The Suites: Desert Domes with a Touch of Glam
Accommodation here comes in two flavours—Deluxe Geo-Domes and Spacious Suite Tents.
The suite tents are jaw-dropping. Picture this: your own climate-controlled dome for sleeping, a private en-suite bathroom, a mini-bar, tea and coffee station, and even a personal outdoor jacuzzi Step outside and you’ve got a desert-view terrace with cozy seating and a firepit. At night, the stars are your ceiling.
Travelling as a couple? The domes are romantic and quiet. Bringing the family? The suites can accommodate up to five, without feeling cramped.
Dining at Lummayya: Bedouin Flavours Reimagined
At the heart of the glamp sits Lummayya , the onsite restaurant whose name pays tribute to water—a rare and precious element in the desert. The space itself is sculptural and artistic, inspired by the flowing lines of sand dunes.
The menu brings together local Bedouin dishes with a gourmet twist, alongside international favourites. Whether you’re craving slow-cooked mandi or a crisp Mediterranean salad, everything is fresh, flavourful, and artfully presented. And yes—there’s a bar serving cold drinks, fresh juices, teas, and coffee to keep you cool under the desert sun.
Experiences that Go Beyond the Tent
Remal el Rayan is designed for adventure just as much as relaxation. You can:
Zoom down the dunes on a sandboard
Cruise through the desert in a 4×4 safari
Ride horses at sunset
Hop on a felucca boat across Lake Rayan
Roast marshmallows by the fire
Or simply chill in a hammock with a drink and a view
There’s even a kids’ play area, making this a family-friendly haven.
Not planning to stay overnight? You can still enjoy a day-use experience , complete with meals, activities, and access to all the outdoor facilities.
