Taziry, or "full moon" in the local Amazighian dialect, is a Siwan ecolodge with an extra special touch of style, comfort and service. It has been built with local natural materials in accordance with the Siwi ancestral construction method. Doors and windows are ideally positioned to capture the desert breeze, eliminating the need for air-conditioning. Oil lamps and candles are used for illumination giving the place a quaint and cosy poetic atmosphere. The salty soil of the oasis is called "karshif " in Berber. It is used by the locals to build their traditional mud brick houses, which employ mud as mortar and plastering. The ceilings are made from dried palm tree trunks and wooden beams.
