Egypt Spa and Wellness
Relax and rejuvenate with Pharaonic treatments
Egypt’s sun drenched dry climate, therapeutic hot springs and mineral rich waters have been a draw for visitors since ancient times. Egypt’s health and healing tradition is based on the curative qualities of the destination’s desert sands and sulphuric springs which have been proven to ease arthritic or rheumatic pain, psoriasis, as well as treat a number of other conditions and complaints for centuries.
Today, Egypt harnesses invigorating and curative natural therapies such as healing hot sand baths, Salt Cave therapy and Climotherapy, whilst also providing spa seekers with a sophisticated, comprehensive and world-class network of spa and wellness centres to restore, revive and rejuvenate body and mind.
The growing popularity of health therapies with holidaying tourists, availability of skilled specialists and the ever-increasing number of luxurious hotel resorts or specialist therapy centres conspire to transform Egypt into one of the world’s most popular destinations for visitors in search of relaxation and recuperation.
Just a five hour flight from London and with a year round warm climate, Egypt is the ideal destination for anyone looking to relax or revitalise. Whether visiting to enjoy Egypt’s superb beaches, pristine coral reefs, fascinating ancient sites or outstanding golf, experiencing the destination’s first rate wellness offering is a must for any itinerary.
Although located throughout Egypt, some of the country’s most superior spas can be found in Cairo and in the Red Sea Riviera resorts, offering locally made natural products and treatments that build on centuries of health and wellness practices.
Wellness holidays are bountiful in the popular Red Sea resort of Sharm El Sheikh, home to Egypt’s most reputable and lavish spas including the Savoy Aqua Spa, Grand Rotana Zen Spa, and Reef Blue Bay Resort & Spa. Holidaymakers here can lie back and be swept away by local hibiscus infused treatments and techniques that were once enjoyed by Cleopatra herself.
