BeiJing Guxiang 20 club, Beijing
Albabenshal is spectacularly located outside the jagged ruins of Old Shali, a 13th century citadel in the centre of Siwa. Ancient, rundown Siwan dwellings were restored using kershef, a mixture of sun-dried salt, mud and sand, to build a lodging that is a replica of the original structures that once were in the fortress. Albabenshal offers 11 rooms on three levels, linked through a system of alleyways and terraces that overlook the centre of town. On the main terrace, Albabenshal Restaurant serves a menu of Siwan traditional dishes tailored to more modern tastes. Rooms are furnished and decorated with multicolored Bedouin carpets, palm frond chairs, tables and beds, and linens of top quality Egyptian cotton with embroideries in the traditional Siwan style.
