Relax, be well – set your body clock to Egyptian time!

Egypt has a tradition of health and healing that dates back thousands of years. The great authors of Antiquity

wrote with passion of Cleopatra’s extraordinary beauty – she who mesmerised the most powerful men of her era.

One of history’s most famous adepts in the cult of Beauty, the queen bathed regularly in asses’ milk strewn with

fresh rose petals.

The growing popularity of health therapies with holidaying tourists, the ready availability of skilled specialists and

the growing number of luxurious hotel resorts have all conspired to transform Egypt into one of the world’s most

popular destinations for visitors in search of relaxation and recuperation.

Over the past few years, specialist therapy centres have sprung up across the country, catering to overworked

travellers who just want to get away from it all. Now you can pamper yourself anywhere in the country – you too

can take a “Cleopatra” bath before plunging into the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea. Now you can visit the

mythic city of Alexandria on the sun-kissed coastline of the Mediterranean and savour the gentlest of exfoliations

while gazing out across beaches of the finest white sand. Uncover the secret beauty treatments of the Bedouin as

you visit their encampments in the middle of the Sinai desert. Or rid yourself of the last vestiges of stress in the

lushly languorous surroundings of Dakhla Oasis after crossing the ethereal landscapes of the White Desert. The

more adventurous can try papyrus-wrap treatments in the stunning settings of Luxor or Aswan on the banks of

the Nile. And every visitor to Cairo is sure to enjoy a true Pharaoh’s massage in the shadow of the Great Pyramid

of Cheops.

You will find that taking part in the aesthetic rituals of Egypt is a profoundly satisfying way of uncovering the

country’s true soul – because everything around you is impregnated with ancestral philosophy and traditional

culture.

Your wishes are instantly translated into our commands! The therapists working in our spa resorts are highly

qualified, professional, attentive and focused on your serenity. As a result, they are famed throughout the world

for their ability to raise your physical and spiritual health to hitherto unattained levels of wellbeing, by subtly

reawakening every one of your senses. Traditional, yet attuned to the very latest technology, we have turned the

science of relaxation into an art, ready to transport you on a sensual, visual and spiritual voyage of self-discovery.

Relax in the tranquil pleasures of an Egyptian spa resort – truly the closest thing to paradise on earth…

Join us and discover the spa resort of your dreams!

East of Alex…Just 65 km from Alexandria you can follow in the footsteps of the explorer who uncovered a priceless stone key in the ancient city of Ro-setta: after making his amazing discovery in 1799, French scholar Jean-François Champol-lion was able to decipher the mysteries of the hieroglyphs. Following the decline of Alexan-dria after the Ottoman invasion, Rosetta be-came the main port on Egypt’s northern coast – the Ottoman architecture of the restored houses that characterise this part of the Nile delta is one of the area’s most charming featu-res. You can also admire the magnificent palm grove that gives the port its nickname: city of a million palm-trees.

West of Alex…The ancient coastal village of El Alamein is now a fast-developing tourist resort. Site of a famous Allied victory during the Second World War, there are plenty of historical details to be uncovered in the local military museum. Marsa Matrouh also has many attractions to offer, with its expansive beaches of fine white sand, dark-blue waters and unusual rock formations. The more adventurous can take a trip to Siwa Oasis in the extreme west of Egypt, where two fascinating earthen fortresses await the bold explorer.

Museums, palaces and mosquesA series of earthquakes and a corresponding rise in sea levels mean that very little of ancient Alexandria has survived. Visiting the Graeco-Roman Museum is the best way to imagine Graeco-Roman civilization as it flourished in the city’s heyday. During the summer months, you may prefer to take in a concert or a play in the luxuriant gardens that surround ancient Montazah Palace. A perfect example of Arabic art, the tall minaret and four domes of the Abu el-Abbas mosque give the building a positively imperial air.

Alexandria and its glorious pastAlexander the Great founded Alexandria in 331 BC. One of the last of the seven wonders of the Ancient world, the city’s famous lighthouse – the Pharos – was utterly destroyed by a violent earthquake in mediaeval times. Upon its founda-tions was built the elegant fort of Qait Bey, now a regular attraction for sightseers as they pass the tiny island of Pharos. Visiting the Bibliothe-ca Alexandrina, opened in 2003, is almost the same as experiencing the mythical atmosphere of the earlier Alexandrine library, largest in An-tiquity. The modern library houses millions of works in elegant surroundings that hark back to the city’s glorious Graeco-Roman era.

Cairo and its rich pastCairo really does have the power to amaze you. From where the city stretches along the banks of the Nile, it’s just a short walk to three of Egypt’s most magnificent pyramids: the Great Pyramid of Cheops and its two companions, the pyramids of Chephren (the indomitable) and Mykerinos (the unfinished). After your daytime visit, return in the evening to enjoy the impressive sound-and-light show. Symbol of the city, the Sphinx at Giza invites you to fathom its mysteries. And in the Egyptian Museum you will find some of the most beautiful works of Ancient Egyptian art, including the treasures of Tutankhamen and the fascinating Royal Mummy Room.

Saqqara excursionA day trip to Saqqara, 30 km south of Cairo, is a worthwhile expedition for anyone interested in Egypt’s ancient past. Formerly the necropolis of Egypt’s ancient capital, Memphis, it still preserves some of the potent atmosphere that must have prevailed when the first pharaohs were buried here. The necropolis is best known for its stepped pyramid, the oldest in Egypt. But Saqqara also boasts another 16 pyramids, in varying states of preservation. Don’t forget to visit the burial chamber of Pharaoh Unas, where you can admire the extraordinary Pyramid Texts and well-preserved wall paintings.

Islamic CairoAs one-time capital of the Islamic world, Cairo contains almost all of Egypt’s great Islamic monuments. You can venture through the doors of mosques, Koranic schools, museums and the unmissable Jewel Palace. As you tour the city, don’t overlook the lovely Al-Azhar Mosque, a thousand-year-old gem. In the world-famous Khan el-Khalili bazaar, you will love strolling down the narrow thoroughfares in search of souvenirs and craftwork, or simply enjoying a glass of tea on a cafe terrace. In the evenings, the subdued lighting confers an unexpected peace and tranquillity upon the souk’s usual hustle and bustle.

Golf Resort

Discover Cairo’s Coptic past, starting with the Coptic Museum. The museum nestles in a garden amid the ruins of the ancient Babylon fort, built in Roman times – some of the fort’s walls are still standing. You will find all kinds of artworks here, including carvings, textiles and manuscripts dating from the city’s lengthy Christian period. This district is the oldest part of town, and boasts a number of Coptic churches. Externally they have few striking architectural features, but their interiors are richly decorated. Discover why the oldest of them is known as the Hanging Church!

Hilton Luxor Resort & Spa

or queens – although even the royal pharaohs didn’t get to

enjoy a refreshing mid-swim drink at the sunken counter of

the Oasis Pool Bar! Away from the hotel, you might perhaps

choose to drift down the soothing waters of the Nile in a

felucca and watch the sun melt into the river at dusk. Or you

might take a night trip out to the magnificent temple complex

at Karnak, where the former glories of Ancient Egypt are

brought to life by a spectacular sound-and-light show.

the region:things to see

and do around

LuxorLuxor is in fact the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes. The river Nile cleaves it neatly in two – on the East Bank stands the modern city, as well as the temple complex of Karnak, while on the West Bank you will find the ancient necropolis. Luxor is often referred to as the world’s greatest open-air museum, and here you can marvel at works of art and architecture that will leave a profound and unforgettable impression. Don’t miss the Valley of the Kings, where you can view the tombs of Ramses the Great and Tutankhamen.

Aswan and the NileFrom its position on the right bank of the Nile, Aswan exudes a pleasantly relaxed atmosphere, and is best appreciated from the river – ideally from the deck of a traditional Felucca.These ancient vessels with their elegant white sails are very much part of the scenery around Aswan. And in the absence of a bridge, they are also indispensable: without them, you would be unable to visit the islands or cross over to the left bank. Boat trips are best taken in the afternoon, when the light is at its best, the river breezes rock you gently, and the noise and hurly-burly of city life are submerged beneath the peaceful tranquillity of the rippling water. Experience true happiness in its purest state!

AswanAswan is Egypt’s most southerly city, and stands on the original frontier between the famous kingdom of the Ancient Egyptians and the mysterious nations south of Egypt, with their roots deep in the heart of Africa. Its people have preserved their Nubian culture and traditions, and you can discover for yourself the characteristic charm that pervades the thoroughfares of the bustling souks and the alleyways of the colourful villages. Inaugurated in 1997, the Nubian Museum exhibits statues and other antiquities dating from the pharaonic era, rescued from the floodwaters that now form the great dam.

A flight in a hot-air balloon is one of the best ways to admire Luxor and appreciate just how vast these ancient sites really are. Visit the West Bank and enjoy a captivating flight above some of the most popular archaeological wonders in the world: the Valleys of the Kings and Queens, along with other exceptional historical monuments. A hot-air balloon flight will give you a clear idea of the sprawling scope of the temple complexes that form Karnak and Luxor. Savour the moment: then take time out to enjoy the delicious mid-air refreshments offered by the crew!

Stella Di Mare Resort

The Stella Di Mare Resort complex brings together three superb

establishments: Stella Golf Hotel, Stella Grand Hotel and the Sea

Club Hotel. Wherever you choose to stay, you certainly won’t be

bored – diving in the turquoise waters of the Red Sea, playing

a round of golf on lovely, well-maintained fairways or enjoying

the wonderful health and beauty sessions in the Thalasso Stella

Di Mare “temple” are just some of the many activities that

await you. When you visit the spa, you’ll feel as if you’ve been

transported back to the time of the pharaohs, as you gaze upon

impressive lotiform columns, obelisks, paintings and sculptures.

It won’t take you long to appreciate the benefits of the various

sea-inspired treatments such as seaweed wraps, mud masks and

exfoliating sand-scrubs. Immerse your entire body in seawater,

full of essential nutrients that will slow down the effects of

ageing, eliminate fatigue, and protect you against stress.

DivingThe Red Sea boasts some of the most spectacular diving sites in the world. An extraordinary range of activities and adventures awaits you in the tourist resorts along the western coast. Here you will find El Gouna – a diver’s paradise, with 30 well-known sites that include coral reefs and famous wrecks such as the Thistlegorm. The amazing variety of sealife offers you opportunities to admire gardens of coral, swim in the company of giant gorgonians, butterfly fish, turtles, ponderous Napoleon fish and many other gaudy sea creatures…

One desert, but so many things to doThe great desert expanses along the shores of the Red Sea are anything but dull. From tourist resorts such as Hurghada, Makadi Bay and Soma Bay you can travel out on day trips or half-day excursions. Make an on-the-spot decision – choose a camel trek, or a cross-country adventure on quad bike. Opt for high-speed thrills on a sand yacht, or a safari in a 4x4. Or visit a Bedouin encampment and finish your adventure by tucking into a sumptuous banquet beneath the stars, after watching another magnificent desert sunset unfold.

Tour of the islandsTravel on a voyage of discovery around the is-lands of the Red Sea; watch the setting sun melt into the waves as you enjoy a delicious meal of freshly grilled fish. Embark at Hur-ghada for a journey to Giftun, an archipelago that has been turned into a magnificent Na-tional Park. Your captain will drop you off on an isolated beach so you can sunbathe, swim, or indulge in some free diving. Add a romantic touch to your escapade by renting a sailing boat, in which you can explore the beautiful creeks that abound along the shoreline.

Monasteries in the desertJust 55 km from the Suez Canal, Ain Sukhna is the ideal point of departure for exploring the Western Desert and viewing its historic monasteries. While not so well known as St. Catherine’s monastery on the Sinai Peninsula, they remain fascinating places to visit, with an impressive historical heritage. St. Anthony’s monastery is thought to be the oldest in the world, and yet monks still live, work and pray there. Not far from St. Paul’s monastery you will have plenty of opportunities to admire the many subtle shades of pink that colour the gorgeous mountain landscapes.

The hotel’s Zen Spa offers tailor-made treatments, conceived with your physical and spiritual serenity in mind. The treatments here take inspiration from the holistic philosophies of Asia – appealing to all five senses in order to achieve more exquisite self-awareness. You will learn more about this approach while you enjoy an exquisite Thai massage delivered by one of the spa’s expert masseurs. For a truly memorable session, try one of our VIP “romantic” treatments, available in specially-designed private suites for couples, filled with candlelight and oriental fragrances.

Diving and water sportsDreaming of crystal-clear water or coral reefs blazing with colour? Sharm el-Sheikh is the perfect place for you. As Egypt’s leading diving centre, the town has built up a first-class reputation. Just 25 km away you’ll find the extraordinary Ras Mohammed National Park – described by Jacques Cousteau as one of the world’s greatest nature reserves. The Taba Heights complex offers plenty of opportunities for snorkelling or scuba diving off Pharaoh’s Island, while lovers of windsurfing or kite-surfing will rejoice in the strong, steady coastal breezes.

Historical and natural wondersIt’s really easy to admire a glorious sunrise from the summit of legendary Mount Sinai, thanks to the many excursions on offer from Taba Heights or Sharm el-Sheikh. While you visit the ancient monastery of St. Catherine, take time out to contemplate the burning bush of biblical fame. A trip to the nature reserve at Abu Gallum is a perfect opportunity to admire magnificent mountain landscapes populated by the Arabian ibex, striped hyena and even the elusive hyrax. Many other natural wonders await you, from peaceful oases to the astonishing Coloured Canyon.

SouvenirsThe town of Sharm el-Sheikh has metamor-phosed into a smart, streetwise destination where shopaholics will find plenty to keep them occupied. If you prefer Egyptian silks or cottons or you’re on the lookout for onyx or gold or silver jewellery, visit the shopping centre at Na’ama Bay, where the elegant surroundings form a perfect setting for a wide variety of specialist boutiques. Don’t miss the old market in Sharm el-Sheikh where local craftsmanship abounds, from hand-woven rugs and subtle oriental perfumes to the herbs and spices you’ll need to recreate the rich tastes and scents of Egyptian cuisine...

The desert and its dwellersThere are many Bedouin tribes living in the deserts of the Sinai Peninsula, thanks to the network of canals bringing water from the Suez. These hospitable desert dwellers will open their tents to you when you visit their encampments. Your desert excursion will finish with a traditional glass of tea followed by a delicious repast beneath a glittering canopy of stars. Touring on camel back, strolling through captivating canyons – the choice is yours. For a more intense experience, take a turn across the Sinai desert and brave the immense expanse of golden dunes in a 4x4 or on a quad bike.

things to see and do around

Siwa OasisEgypt is 94% desert, and Siwa Oasis is the most famous and the most northerly haven of peace in the country’s vast Western Desert. This paradise on earth is some 30 km long by 20 km wide, and lies in the midst of two magnificent lagoons. The oasis sports some spectacular ruins, but the must-see is the temple of Zeus-Ammon, a remote sanctuary and former oracle that in ancient times was regularly visited by poor and powerful alike, including Alexander the Great.

The Great Sand SeaThis awe-inspiring desert is alive with legends and myths, stretching over Egypt from Siwa Oasis to Dakhla Oasis. The living spectacle of the great sand dunes undulating to the horizon will hold you spell-bound, as you listen to the soft, unceasing song of the constantly shifting sands. It is said that some of the fabulous dunes of Abu Muharek stretch for more than 140 km. Embark on an unforgettable adventure across this mineral immensity, where the cool freshness of the oases mingles with the warm welcome of the local inhabitants…

Bahariya OasisIn Arabic, El-Waha el-Bahariya means “northern oasis”, although the oasis is now also nicknamed the Valley of the Golden Mummies following recent archaeological discoveries. The many freshwater springs turn the oasis into a peaceful green island floating in the midst of a sea of sand. The sun glints from the black volcanic rock that forms a dramatic escarpment atop the encircling hills. You can also visit Bawiti, largest village in the oasis, join an expedition into the remarkable Black Desert, or enjoy a night-time bath in one of Bahariya’s many hot springs.

The White DesertThe White Desert’s extreme aridity and astonishing limestone sculptures have turned it into one of the most extraordinary landscapes on the planet. Centuries of erosion give the desert a truly lunar allure. You will travel through forests of limestone mushrooms, endless series of wave-shaped sand dunes, spectacular mosaics of conical rock sculpted by the wind – a geological wonderland that turns the desert into a vision of transcendence. The limestone changes colour as the sun rises and sets – from blushing pink at sunup to incandescent white at noon, from delicate mauve at sunset to mysterious gold beneath the full moon.
