The goal of Medical tourism is to help tourists in recreation, relaxation, and entertainment with all the various natural resources.

This kind of tourism is also meant to help people to get rid of any physical or mental pain or even to solve some kinds of health problems through natural factors present in the environment.

Medical Tourism destinations in Egypt

Egypt from ancient times is famous for providing curative tourism because of having the natural resources to do so. Egypt has eyes, rivers, and underground and mineral waters, this is plus the soil itself has lots of materials for treating many diseases.

So this lead us to talk in details about the sites in Egypt that has natural resources for medical tourism:

Kharga Oasis

Kharga Oasis is located in Assiut city which is on the south of Cairo. This magical site contains many deep wells like Bulaq wells and Nasser wells that help in treating lots of health problems. It can help treat chronic pain, disorders of the digestive system, psoriasis, kidney stones accompanied by renal colic, rheumatic diseases, and skin diseases.

Bahariya Oasis

Bahariya Oasis consists of a group of Egyptian oases, you can find this oasis group in the Western desert related to the Giza government and very close to Alexandria city.

This magical area is approximately 2000 square kilometers, a huge site like this hosts many water springs to heal the physical and mental pain and it’s surrounded by lots of mountains

Gabal Dakrour ( Dakrour Mountain)

In the south of Siwa Oasis, there is a mountain called Dakrour Mountain which is famous for the appeality of healing rheumatic patients through its healing climatic properties with the hot sands since ancient times

Aswan

Aswan is a wonderful city that is famous for having the best atmosphere for healing patients with kidneys, respiratory system, and rheumatic diseases. There are also two special centers in Aswan that treat with sand and water through burying in the hot sand in a studied scientific manner.

Siwa Oasis

For many years, Siwa Oasis faced a natural depression due to natural erosion factors which caused a total depression area of 1,000 km2 and 18 meters below sea level.

The latest part of Siwa Oasis is related to the Sand dunes but due to the leakage of groundwater there are many water springs between sulfur and fresh. There are also some saline lakes which were created because of the salinity of the rocks and the whole area was the bottom of a great sea one day. That’s why Siwa Oasis became one of the most important sites for medical tourism in Egypt.

Ras Sedr

On the southern part of Sinai Governorate specially on the coast of the Red Sea, you can find Ras Sedr city. This historical city witnessed many important times since the Prophet Moses, Jesus Christ, the Greeks, and the Romans.

Ras Sedr is now well known for its pure sandy coasts, very calm waters, low in seaweed and sea salt.

Moses pool

In Tor Sinai city which is related to the Sinai Government, Moses pool is located. This magical pool is full of natural water that flows from 5 different eyes. It produces around 20 cubic meters of natural water per day, the temperature of the sulfur water at the Moses pool reaches 37 degrees Celsius so it can help in healing many physical diseases.

If you’re searching for a destination that provides medical tourism with the best natural resources and low coast, Egypt is the perfect match. Forget all the chemicals treatment and head to the natural one, always return to the beginning of everything and you will find the solution and Egypt is where the beginning of everything is located. How do you think the ancient pharaohs were able to treat themselves, it’s because they used the resources in Egypt soil. Make sure to try the Egyptian sites for your natural treatment.

 Verified Trip of a lifetime We just got back from a family "trip of a lifetime" to Egypt: 3 couples arrived in Cairo from different parts of US and Canada, at different flights and times, and yet the reception and arrival coordination and documents arrangement could not have been smoother. All was arranged, and the trip was custom designed by Ahmet from GAT Tours. We were a bit apprehensive considering the issues in the Middle East, but really there never has been a moment of concern and a complete feeling of safety as we were chauffeured, flown and sailed to the various destinations of this great country of Egypt. We visited the important sites around Cairo : the fantastic, new, Grand Egyptian Museum, the pyramids, the Sphinx, Civilization Museum, the market, Citadel, and other sites. Our hotel was first class. Our voyage down the Nile from Luxor was in upgraded suites (courtesy of GAT) on top of the line Sonesta Cruise line : gourmet meals in absolute comfort! We were lucky to have Asmaa in Cairo and Simon in Luxor and Aswan to guide us through the exhilarating sites of Karnak Temple, Valley of the Kings, Kim Ombo, Edfu, Abu Simbel etc. in a very knowledgeable and entertaining fashion. WOW !! What a trip. GAT Tours made it happen. George C.

 Verified Cairo and Nile Cruise This was an excellent tour! GAT Tours planned every detail and was very accommodating. We were initially going to cancel the tour considering the recent instability in the Gulf Region, however, the tour manager (Ahmed Omar) ensured our safety. We felt very safe in the hands of our tour guides (Asmaa - in Cairo and Simon in Luxor/Aswan). Both tour guides were extremely knowledgeable, personable, engaging, and advised us well on how to save time and money at the various sites and markets. Strongly recommend Asmaa and Simon as tour guides! Our travel/logistics person (Seif) was also great. He ensured our transportation, pick-ups, and meals were all on time. Everyone operating the tour was accessible and responsive via iPhone. The tour guides really showed us how rich their culture (ancient or modern) is. Highly recommend this tour: Six adults (incl. 2 seniors). My personal favorites: Valley of the Kings, GEM, and any of the evening tours of the temples!

 Verified Good experience overall It’s a mixed review of the tour and I will divide it into office staff and guide & drivers. Ahmed Omar in Cairo office helped us with our 5 days-Nile cruise and associated sightseeing. He was very prompt, polite and professional. As we didn’t get the morning flight on the day of our cruise, Ahmed helped us book a Luxor hotel for the night before. He also asked us for a personal favour and we obliged. Ahmed was thoughtful and offered to arrange ‘meet and greet’ at Cairo airport, in addition to the pick up on our return to Cairo after the cruise. Mr Mina met us at Cairo airport for helping with visa, Sim and money exchange. Despite Ahmed’s assurance that we would be helped with exchanging money, Mr Mina was walking out without doing that. When my wife pointed that out, he tried to blame us for not reminding him, which was not very nice! At Luxor airport, we were expecting My Ayman, but someone else came, which is fine. He was helpful and went to the hotel with us and next morning picked us up from hotel and dropped us at the cruise. We chose Sonesta star goddess for our trip and Ahmed had arranged everything. The guide Mohamed Refaat met us at 3pm. He said was a freelancer, and that he was given to us because he is a close friend of Mr Ayman. We found difficult to understand his English initially and his knowledge was just ok. He spent 20 minutes outside the Karnak temple talking about canals etc and as a result we had to rush at the end. He didn’t offer to take photos, but obliged whenever we asked. He repeated himself a lot and was not very interesting or engaging. We did think of calling the office to change him but didn’t. In Aswan, he said that we should pay for the felucca ride which was included. And then went on to say that we should pay the driver as he is not paid well and that we have to spend a lot during our Abu Simbel trip. On the final day, Mohamed went to our cruise reception and asked the person to give us an envelope and then turned around and told me to give them tips, before he leaves. That was very disrespectful behaviour and we were angry. Then we went to Abu Simbel and throughout the journey, he mostly chatted with the driver or slept. The driver, Kareem, was holding his phone with his left hand and talking while driving on the highway, which we found quite scary. Despite clearly telling Mohamed that we will not take out money using our card and that we will exchange money when we return to Aswan, after our trip finishes, he kept asking us to take money out throughout the day whenever he saw an ATM, very irritating behaviour. It left us with a bad taste. On the positive side, he was always on time, was friendly and did the basics. There were other little negative things like the car didn’t have water or tissue box, though it was sorted after informing Ahmed twice. It would have been good if someone from Gat tour contacted us directly to see if we were ok. We had to keep texting Ahmed for all minor issues, and he was always prompt. The representatives for Aswan airport and then again at Cairo airport were all on time and professional. So overall it was good. Gat tours is recommended but the guide Mohamed is definitely not.

 Verified The best! Highly recommended! 10 out of 10 The best. Seamless from start to finish. Nothing is too much. Excellent communications. We did the Renaissance 5 day river cruise from Luxor to Aswan. 4 of us. We had our own knowledgeable and very solicitous guide who accompanied us throughout the cruise. GAT also met us at the airport and in Luxor to take us to the boat and introduce us to our tour guide. Everything on time, with clear communication. GAT also booked us the Elite sleeper train from Cairo to Luxor. Their cost was was very reasonable and it was a fabulous experience: a wonderful, clean and well designed compartment with excellent service, they even provided slippers! Mr Omar, one of the managers, based in Cairo, was superb in choreographing our entire trip. Thank you GAT
