My experience with Faraj was absolutely wonderful! From the first day I felt so welcomed and at home. Faraj made such an effort to teach me about Bedouin culture and show me all around Marsa Matrouh. This was definitely the most culturally immersive Worldpackers experience that I've had yet! The accommodation is very nice, you get a full-size bed on the top floor of the building, so you also have excellent views of the sea and the surrounding city from the balcony. I highly recommend this experience if you want to visit Egypt and I definitely hope to return someday!

My experience at the hostel was excellent. Faraj is a very attentive and pleasant host, willing to learn, share experiences and make you feel at home. My days as a volunteer were enriching. I was able to help Faraj with his Spanish learning and improve my English communication skills. I was able to immerse myself in Egyptian culture, Bedouin culture and see different parts of Marsa Matruh. The place offered by the host is very comfortable and clean, close to the beach and within reach of everything. I definitely recommend it! I will return with more time :)

I volunteered at Al-manera hotel in Marsa Matrouth from March 5th thru April, 2023, teaching my host English and cooking international meals My accommodation was a spacious upstairs apartment beautifully decorated Egyptian style with a balcony. The sunset views were spectacular My host, Farrag, was very welcoming and made me feel at home, He has a very easy going sense of humor, always good about providing the needed ingredients for meals, and very open to trying new types of food and. new strategies off learning English. I highly recommend this work exchange.

Volunteering at the hostel was a very enriching experience. Working with Faraj was super nice! He is such a nice guy, really flexible and easy going so you feel free to do thinks in your own time and way. He is also very open to new ideas so anything you want to suggest will be very welcoming. Regarding the place itself, we stayed in a 2 room's apartment (each room is for 2 people), with a shared kitchen and bathroom, a very nice living room and a huge balcony. The place is just in the middle of the city and it's 5 min. walking from the city's beach. I would easily go back! 😊

It was amazing volunteering at the hostel. First of all, they are located in a sweet spot in Marsa Matrouh, an amazing beach in Egypt. The place is comfortable, clean, near to the beach, full of locals and super chilled. Faraj, the owner, is very open minded, super flexible with schedule and work, very enthusiastic, into learning different cultures and also teaching his own. We had a great time together, learned a lot, exchanged a lot and we had a wonderful time there. I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to have a good time, get to know a paradise and who are open to new experiences.
