what about electricity?

We’d like to remind you that we are in the middle of the desert so even though we have hot water, air conditioning and Wifi connection we are off the grid and until we can rely solely on solar energy in the future (used now for few areas), we depend and have to use a generator. Our generator’s operating hours are from 6:00 to 10:00 am, 13:00 to 15:00 and 19:00 to 12:00 am. However, we can extend these hours in case of special requests and please understand that as much as we’d like to meet your expectations for extended usage of electricity we also have to consider other guests’ rest time that could be affected by the generator’s noise.    

What Voltage is used?

The Voltage used is 220V; most devices from Europe with 230V can be used here. If you are not sure, plan to bring an adaptor.
