SPA AND THALASSOTHERAPY - Revitalise your Entire Body

• Getting back into shape, body care and thalassotherapy: Egypt has a long tradition of giving great importance to body care treatments: belief in the rebirth of the Pharaonic era, baths and hot springs from the Roman Era, Turkish baths from Islamic culture… The exceptional natural environment, the dry climate and Egyptian know-how have helped with the rapid development of this tourist offer which responds well to current demands.

• Springs, sand and plants: the oases of the Egyptian desert are rich in healthgiving springs whose reputation goes back thousands of years. The beneficial effects of the mud from the Nile, the ionic sand from the dunes (sand baths) and the salinity of the waters in the Red Sea are well known. The quality of preparations based on plant oils and natural essences (hibiscus, mint, ambrosia, gourd, alfa and pomegranate skin), have proven their worth over the years.

• Traditional sites: Helwan Hammam (Turkish bath), Bahariya oasis (Halfa springs, Bichmo, Roman wells and springs), the oases of Siwa, Farafra and Mena Ville, the Pharaoh Hammam near Suez and the Moussa Hammam near Sharm El-Sheikh…

• Modern centres: courses of health treatment or vacations with programmes of specific treatments: lymphatic drainage, slimming, special treatment for backs, legs, rheumatism, anti-stress and sport-related… More and more ultra-modern equipment, luxury facilities, with well trained facilitators, are opening along the Red Sea coastline: at Sharm El-Sheikh, Thalasso/Spa centre: sauna, Turkish bath, seaweed wraps, hydro-massage baths, massage showers, massages… at Hurghada and Soma Bay.

• In the big hotels you will find aqua-tonic, health and fitness facilities (sauna, massage, Turkish bath and spa bath…) and well-equipped Fitness centres.
