Spa and Wellness - Relax like an Egyptian
Legend
tells of how Cleopatra bathed regularly in asses’ milk strewn
with fresh rose petals.
But even before the queen who seduced the Roman Empire with her beauty, Egypt has a tradition of healing and beauty that dates back thousands of years.
Today's therapy-keen tourists bathe in sand or salt-rich seas, soak in hot springs or wrap oneself in curative clay, and Egypt has become one of the world’s most popular destinations for visitors in search of relaxation and recuperation.
It's only natural that a country with such natural wonders and a tradition of a civilization imbued with mystery and spirituality would develop its wellness tourism to the highest standards.
Every visitor to Cairo is sure to enjoy a true Pharaoh’s massage in the shadow of the Great Pyramid of Cheops.
Aswan is now famous for traditional Nubian therapies and environmental therapies including sand bathing and massages. The more adventurous can try papyrus-wrap treatments.
With an abundance of bubbling hot springs, the hot water wells of the
New Valley are naturally heated between 35-45 degrees all year round.
One can also opt for sand bathing or sample various traditional medicinal
herbs.
The whole Red Sea coast including Marsa Alam and Safaga offers a practically
perfect climate for healing in rich mineral waters, with up to 35 percent
more salt than the average sea.
As well as having the most sulphuric waters in the world, both Oyoun Mossa and Hammam Pharaon boast a warm, dry climate that’s perfect for recuperating. Their success rate for curing all kinds of aches and pains is astonishingly high.
More than a therapy, wellness in Egypt is a profoundly satisfying ritual that reawakens our senses to the aesthetic rituals and the ancestral soul of the land of the Pharaohs.
