Hurghada: Cleopatra Spa, Turkish Bath & Massage with Pickup

Summary

Hurghada spa day turkish bath massage with transfers

You’ll be picked up from your Hurghada hotel for a spa day packed with sensory moments: Turkish bath rituals, Cleopatra’s marble basin soak, a full body massage, plus time in the sauna and jacuzzi. Sip hot drinks in a quiet lounge as you unwind — and leave feeling lighter than when you arrived.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the smell — kind of sharp and clean, like eucalyptus mixed with something sweet I couldn’t place. We’d just been picked up from our Hurghada hotel (the driver was early, which threw me off), and before I knew it, we were stepping into this steamy haze. Our guide — I think her name was Samira? — handed me a towel and smiled like she’d seen a hundred nervous tourists before. She told us to leave our shoes by the door. I hesitated for a second (my socks didn’t match), but nobody cared.

I lost track of time in the sauna. There’s something about that thick heat pressing in on your skin — it makes you forget everything else. After maybe ten minutes (or fifteen?), Samira came back and led us to the steam room. The walls were slick under my hands, and my hair started sticking to my forehead almost instantly. She explained how the Turkish bath worked — apparently, the kese mitt is supposed to scrub away not just dead skin but “old worries.” I liked that idea.

The main event was the Cleopatra bath — marble everywhere, soft light bouncing off water that looked almost blue in some corners. The attendant didn’t speak much English but grinned when I flinched at the cold splash from the basin. The foam massage part was… well, hard to describe without sounding dramatic. Warm bubbles everywhere, gentle hands working out knots I didn’t know I had. At one point I caught myself laughing because it tickled more than hurt. There was tea waiting for us afterwards in this quiet lounge; minty steam rising from the cups while people whispered or just closed their eyes.

We could use the jacuzzi too — which honestly felt a bit surreal after all that heat and scrubbing. My skin felt new somehow, like I’d left half of Egypt’s desert dust behind on those marble slabs. On the drive back to Hurghada, sun low over rooftops, I kept thinking about how strange it is to feel both so tired and so light at once.
