Wadi halfa Accommodations

Some kilometres out of town you can visit the Onatti Motel, where the will to do something have created a pleasant little oasis complete with fruit trees and real grass.

The hotel, complete with a sand floor that is never cleaned, just brushed by bent-over old women, who leave behind razor blades and fish bones, has communal sleeping with 20 beds in two courtyards. People sleep directly under the stars as the heat makes a roof unbearable. A few small, private rooms, formed with tin sheeting, line the outside of the communal spots. Each private room has three single beds, a coat rack missing most spokes and a blue metal table. The stained mattresses are layered with sand and no sheets cover any beds. No doors have handles or locks.
