REVIEW · TURKISH BATH & HAMMAM TOURS
VIP Royal Hamam Türkei + Hurghada private city tour 2 hours
Hurghada’s Cleopatra Bath combines a full Turkish bath ritual with hotel pickup, a 45-minute oil massage, and time for shopping in the city. The best part is the simple door-to-door plan: you can leave your hotel, enjoy the spa, and return without arranging taxis or guessing where to go.
I like the private format, since only your group takes part. I also like the range of heat and water treatments, from sauna and steam room to jacuzzi and a heated stone bed. The main point to check before booking is the timing: the spa program and transfers are said to take about three hours, while the package also lists two hours of shopping.
Key points to know
- A full Turkish bath sequence: Sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, heated stone, kese scrub, foam wash, and relaxation time are all included.
- A 45-minute oil massage: This adds a proper massage to the traditional bath routine rather than stopping after the scrub and foam wash.
- Private hotel transfers: Pickup and drop-off come in an air-conditioned vehicle, with bottled water included.
- A private group: Only your own group participates, which suits couples, families, and friends who prefer a quieter appointment.
- Shopping is part of the package: The information lists two hours of shopping in Hurghada, so confirm how this fits with your chosen spa time.
- Strong praise for the staff: The available comments highlight helpful, funny guides and professional spa staff.
Cleopatra Bath begins with heat, water, and a slow change of pace

This is not a quick scrub squeezed between beach activities. The program is built around gradual warming, cleansing, massage, and rest. You begin with a 10 to 15-minute sauna session, then spend another 10 to 15 minutes in the steam bath.
That order matters. The sauna warms your body, while the steam helps soften your skin before the main bath treatment. You are not rushed straight into the scrub, which makes the session feel more like a spa appointment than a simple tourist stop.
After the steam room comes a 10 to 15-minute jacuzzi session. The warm water gives you a pause between the heat treatments and the hands-on part of the program. If you prefer a calm start, this is one of the more pleasant sections because you can simply sit and let the heat do its work.
Next, you spend at least 10 minutes on a heated stone bed. This is a traditional-feeling detail and a useful transition before the cleansing treatment. The heat helps keep you relaxed, though anyone who dislikes high temperatures should tell the staff and take breaks as needed.

The kese scrub is the heart of the Turkish bath
The central treatment uses a special exfoliating mitten called a kese. You lie or sit in the marble polished square water basin while the staff work over the skin with the mitten. This removes surface buildup and gives the treatment its most distinctive Turkish bath character.
The scrub can feel vigorous compared with a Western-style spa treatment. That is part of the point, but you should speak up if the pressure feels too strong. A Turkish bath is meant to refresh you, not leave you uncomfortable.
Water is used throughout this part of the program, and the package includes towels. Clean towels are available, along with bottled water, so you do not need to plan around carrying your own spa supplies from the hotel.
Once the scrub is complete, the foam wash follows. Staff create a layer of soap bubbles and work it gently with a loofah. This is softer and more playful than the exfoliating stage, washing away the residue and leaving the skin feeling clean.
The program information describes the foam wash as the closing part of the main bath treatment. The included services also list a 45-minute oil massage, so the exact order may vary. I would confirm whether the massage comes before or after the relaxation room, especially if you want to plan your pickup time.
The 45-minute oil massage adds real value

A 45-minute oil massage is included in the price. That is important when comparing this package with shorter Turkish bath visits, since some bath programs focus only on heat, exfoliation, and foam.
The massage gives you more time to settle after the scrub. It also makes the $67 price easier to justify, particularly if hotel transfers would otherwise cost extra and you want several treatments in one outing.
The supplied details do not specify the massage style, pressure level, or whether you can request a particular focus area. Ask the staff about those points when you arrive. If you prefer light pressure, say so before the massage starts.
The strongest praise for this experience centers on the staff. The available comments describe the guides as helpful and funny, with professional spa staff creating a relaxing visit. That is useful context, but individual guide names are not provided, so you should not expect to request a named guide from the available information.
A quiet room, hot drinks, and time to let the treatment settle
After the foam wash, the program includes 15 minutes in a relaxation room. Hot coffee or tea is provided, along with bottled water. This small pause is valuable because the heat and massage can leave you feeling pleasantly loose but also ready for a quiet moment.
I like this part of the plan because it prevents the appointment from ending with a towel change and an immediate dash back to the vehicle. You get a short window to cool down, drink something, and enjoy the result of the treatment.
After that scheduled rest, you may use the sauna, steam bath, and jacuzzi at your own pace. The wording suggests additional use is available, though it does not specify how long the extra time lasts. Ask the staff if you want to build more time around one particular facility.
A swimming pool is also listed among the included features. The available details do not explain whether pool use follows a set schedule or forms part of the main Turkish bath program. Pack a swimsuit if you plan to use it, and confirm the arrangement locally.

Private transport keeps the visit easy from your hotel
Pickup and drop-off are provided from your Hurghada hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle. This is a practical benefit in Hurghada, where a spa may be some distance from your accommodation and local transport can add both cost and guesswork.
The private setup means only your group takes part. That is useful if you are traveling with family or friends and want the appointment to follow your group’s pace. It also avoids joining a large bus group for what is meant to be a restful outing.
The tour is listed as lasting about three hours including transfers. Treat that as an approximate total, not a strict appointment length. Hotel pickup times, traffic, the pace of the bath, and the massage order can all affect the day.
Confirmation is issued when you book. Pickup is offered, and the experience is also near public transportation, though the included vehicle is the more convenient choice for most people staying at a hotel.
The two-hour shopping addition needs clarification
Shopping in Hurghada is listed as an included feature, with two hours specified. That creates a timing question, since the full spa visit with transfers is also described as taking about three hours.
You should ask the provider how the shopping time is scheduled. It may be combined with a separate city outing, added before or after the spa, or reflect a different package arrangement. Do not assume that you will receive two full hours of shopping and a three-hour spa visit within the same three-hour total.
This is not a small detail. If you mainly want the bath and massage, you may prefer a schedule focused on the spa. If you want both relaxation and time in Hurghada’s shops, confirm the total duration before the pickup date.
The private city portion can be useful for visitors who want to pair a spa treatment with a little local browsing. Still, the supplied information does not name specific shops or promise particular products, so consider it general shopping time rather than a guided market tour.
Is $67 a good price for this Hurghada package?
At $67 per person, the value comes from combining several services in one booking: hotel pickup and return, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, heated stone, scrub, foam wash, relaxation time, hot drinks, towels, bottled water, and a 45-minute oil massage.
If you paid separately for transport, a Turkish bath, and a long massage, the package could be competitive. The private vehicle and private group are also meaningful additions for people who value comfort and control over their schedule.
The price does not include tips. Bring some cash if you want to thank the driver, guides, or spa staff, but the amount is your choice.
The value is less clear if you have little interest in a full bath ritual or if the shopping schedule adds time you do not want. This is a treatment-heavy outing, not a major sightseeing tour. You are paying for comfort and body care rather than monuments, museums, or a detailed introduction to Hurghada.
Who will enjoy this most?
I would recommend this for anyone who wants a low-effort spa break during a Hurghada holiday. Hotel pickup, a private group, and a full treatment sequence make it convenient after several active days in the sun.
It also suits couples and small groups who want to share an appointment without joining strangers. Families may appreciate the private format, although the information only says most people can participate and does not provide specific child policies.
This is a good fit if you enjoy firm exfoliation, warm water, steam, and massage. It is less suitable if you dislike heat, prefer very gentle body treatments, or want a tightly timed itinerary with no uncertainty around shopping.
People with health concerns should also use common sense around sauna, steam, jacuzzi, and heated stone treatments. The available details do not list medical restrictions, so ask the spa staff before beginning if heat or massage may be a concern for you.
Practical details before you reserve
The experience is available with mobile ticketing, and booking confirmation arrives at the time of booking. Pickup is offered from your Hurghada hotel, and the vehicle is air-conditioned.
The entire outing is described as approximately three hours, including transfers. Since the package also includes two hours of shopping, contact More Egypt Tours to confirm the order and total duration for your selected date.
Most people can participate, and the location is near public transportation. Only your group takes part, making this a private activity rather than a shared appointment.
Cancellation is free if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations made within 24 hours are not refunded, and changes inside that same window are not accepted. The cutoff follows local time.
Should you book the Cleopatra Bath?
Book it if you want a convenient Hurghada spa day with a proper sequence of heat treatments, a kese scrub, foam wash, 45-minute oil massage, and hotel transport. The private format and staff praised for being helpful, funny, and professional add to the appeal.
Before paying, confirm two things: how the massage fits into the treatment order, and how the two-hour shopping period fits with the stated three-hour total. If those timings work for you, $67 is a fair price for a broad package with transport and several treatments included. If you want sightseeing rather than relaxation, choose a city tour instead.
