Review · TURKISH BATHS AND HAMMAMS
Cleopatra Bath VIP Private with Full body Massage and Sauna
The best part of this Hurghada spa visit is the private Turkish bath ritual: heat, a rough kese mitt, a full-body scrub, and a thick foam wash, all in a private room. I like the private car and private room, especially if you want a quiet break from the resort routine. I also like that the visit ends with a 45-minute full-body massage, rather than treating the massage as a quick add-on.
The main thing to watch is the clock. The advertised three hours includes round-trip transportation, so your time inside the spa is shorter than three hours. Pickup is free from Hurghada hotels, but hotels in Makadi, El Gouna, and Sahl Hasheesh cost an extra €15 per car, while Safaga costs €20 per car.
Key points to know before booking

- Private from pickup to treatment: Your group travels in a private, air-conditioned car and uses a private room at the spa.
- Traditional kese scrub: A specialized washing mitt removes dead skin before the foam wash.
- 45-minute massage included: This is the longest single treatment in the package.
- Heat comes first: You spend about 10 to 15 minutes in the sauna before the bath treatment.
- Jacuzzi, steam, and sauna access: These facilities are included, with 15 minutes listed for the extra spa time.
- Free cancellation until 24 hours before: A late cancellation or change is not refundable.
A private Cleopatra Bath in Hurghada
This is a compact spa outing built around the Turkish bath, also called a hammam. You do not join a large public group or share a treatment room with strangers. A driver collects you from your Hurghada hotel, takes you to the spa, and brings you back after the treatment.
That privacy matters. A Turkish bath involves washing, scrubbing, and massage, so a private room can feel more comfortable than a busy communal setup. It also makes this a sensible choice for couples, friends, or solo visitors who prefer not to be rushed through a public spa.
The package is priced at $45 per person. That includes transportation from Hurghada hotels, the bath treatment, the scrub, the foam wash, sauna and steam time, a jacuzzi session, hot drinks, relaxation time, guide assistance, and the 45-minute massage. For a resort-area spa outing, that is a strong bundle, though you should remember that the price is per person and that the outlying hotel charges apply per car.
No guide names are provided, but guide assistance is included. The provider is Bella Tours, and the activity is private, so only your own group takes part.

The drive to the spa

Your day starts with hotel pickup in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. The driver takes you from your Hurghada hotel to the Cleopatra bath and returns you afterward. Since the transport is private, you do not need to wait for a large group or make several unrelated stops.
The listing does not give an exact driving time. That means the total length can vary depending on your hotel and road conditions. The three-hour estimate includes both transfers, so ask at booking or pickup when you should expect to return. This is useful if you have a flight, dinner booking, or another scheduled activity later in the day.
Pickup from standard Hurghada hotels is included. For hotels in Makadi, El Gouna, or Sahl Hasheesh, the extra charge is €15 per car, with a maximum of four people in the car. Safaga pickup costs €20 per car. These fees are easy to overlook, so check your hotel location before you pay.
The activity is near public transportation, but you do not need to arrange your own ride if you are staying within the included Hurghada pickup area. The private transfer is one of the package’s practical strengths.
Sauna time before the hammam

At the spa, you are shown to a sauna room first. Plan on about 10 to 15 minutes there. This opening heat helps your body adjust before the bath treatment begins and sets the pace for the rest of the visit.
The sauna is not presented as a long standalone session. It is part of the preparation for the scrub, so this is not the right booking if your main goal is to spend hours moving between spa facilities. Instead, think of it as the warm-up for a traditional washing ritual.
You also receive access to a steam room and jacuzzi. The included information lists 15 minutes for the sauna, steam bath, and jacuzzi portion. Since the schedule also includes separate relaxation time, ask the staff how the facility time is arranged when you arrive. The exact order may depend on the spa’s timing that day.
Heat can make the body feel loose before a scrub and massage, but it is still worth pacing yourself. If you find the sauna or steam room too hot, tell the staff. The package includes professional assistance, and the point is to relax, not to endure the heat.
The kese scrub and polished basin
After the heat, the central treatment begins. The attendant uses a kese, a specialized washing mitt, to remove dead skin. This is the part that gives the Turkish bath its distinct character. It is not a gentle lotion application. The mitt creates firm friction across the body, leaving the skin feeling freshly scrubbed.
The treatment also uses a marble polished square water basin. Water from the basin is part of the washing process, and the bath follows the familiar pattern of warming, scrubbing, rinsing, and cleansing.
You should expect this to feel more vigorous than a standard Western spa exfoliation. If you have sensitive skin or prefer light pressure, tell the attendant before the scrub begins. The available information does not specify how pressure is adjusted, so clear communication is the best way to keep the treatment comfortable.
The full-body peeling and body scrub are included in the price. This helps explain why the package can offer good value at $45, especially when combined with transport and the massage. You are paying for a complete sequence rather than a single 45-minute treatment.

Foam wash and Turkish bath finish
Once the dead skin has been removed, the treatment moves to the foam wash. The attendant uses bubble soap, a loofah, and water to clean the body. The result is a more playful and traditional finish than a plain shower, and it gives the treatment a clear sense of progression.
The foam portion is followed by the feeling of being fully clean rather than simply polished. If you have spent several hot days in Hurghada, this can be a satisfying reset. It also makes the package useful after a day at the beach or pool, though the exact treatment order and the time spent in each stage are not specified.
The bath is sometimes described as both a Cleopatra Bath and a Turkish Bath. Those names refer to the same broad package here: heat, exfoliation, soap foam, and washing. Do not expect a museum visit or a historical tour connected to Cleopatra. This is a spa service using the Cleopatra name.
The private room is especially useful at this stage. You can ask questions, request a change in pressure, and take your time without feeling watched by a larger group. Guide assistance is included, though no individual guide is named.
Hot drinks and a short rest
After the bath, you have about 10 to 15 minutes to relax in the lounge with hot drinks. This pause gives you a chance to cool down and settle before the massage.
It is a short break, not a long lounge stay. If you enjoy spa visits mainly for quiet rest, you may find this portion brief. If you want a focused three-hour treatment with several steps, the compact schedule works better.
The hot drink also breaks up the heat treatments. You move from sauna and steam to scrubbing, then to a calmer pause before the massage. That rhythm helps the visit feel like a full spa appointment rather than a single wash.
Keep the larger schedule in mind. The total duration is approximately three hours, and round-trip transport is included in that figure. The relaxation break, facility time, and massage all share the remaining time after the drive.
The 45-minute full-body massage

The massage is the final major treatment and lasts 45 minutes. This is a meaningful amount of time, not a short five or ten-minute finish. It is also the part most likely to appeal to anyone who wants the bath to end gently after the firmer scrub.
The package describes it as a full-body massage, but it does not specify the massage style or pressure level. Tell the staff what feels comfortable before starting. You can also mention any areas that need lighter attention.
A full-body massage after heat and exfoliation can make the whole outing feel balanced. The scrub wakes up the skin and may feel energetic; the massage gives you time to lie still and relax. That combination is why I see this package as more than a basic sauna visit.
The single detailed rating available for the activity praises the relaxing mix of sauna, hammam, jacuzzi, Turkish bath, loofah scrubbing, foam, and a good, long massage. The overall rating is 5 out of 5 from three reviews. That is a very small sample, so I would treat it as encouraging rather than final proof of consistent service. Still, the praise points clearly to the treatment sequence and massage as the strongest parts.
Who gets the best value from this package
I would choose this for someone staying in Hurghada who wants a private spa break without arranging separate transport or separate treatments. The included pickup and private room remove two common hassles.
It suits couples and small groups particularly well because the activity is private and the vehicle holds up to four people for the outlying pickup areas. It can also suit solo visitors who prefer privacy during a body treatment.
This is a good fit if you want:
- A traditional Turkish bath with a scrub and foam wash
- A full-body massage lasting 45 minutes
- Sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi access
- Private transportation from a Hurghada hotel
- A treatment that takes about half a day including transfers
You may want something else if your priority is a long luxury spa day, a large resort spa with many treatment choices, or a detailed cultural tour. The schedule is focused and fairly short. It does not list facials, beauty treatments, lunch, or extended lounge access.
The experience is designed for most people to participate, but no specific accessibility details are provided. If you need special assistance, contact Bella Tours before booking and explain your needs.
Price, timing, and cancellation details
At $45 per person, the package offers useful value because the price combines a private car, private treatment room, bath ritual, scrub, facility access, drinks, and a 45-minute massage. Buying each part separately could cost more, but no separate spa prices are provided, so the fairest way to judge the deal is by the number of services included.
The private setup also has value. You are not paying only for time in a sauna. You are paying for a private transfer and a private setting, along with staff assistance throughout the visit.
Book ahead if your schedule is fixed. The activity is booked an average of 33 days in advance, which suggests that leaving it until the last moment may not be wise during busy periods. Confirmation is provided at the time of booking.
You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. If you cancel within 24 hours, the payment is not refunded, and changes within that period are not accepted. The cutoff follows local time in Hurghada.
Should you book the Cleopatra Bath VIP treatment?
Book it if you want a private, practical spa outing with a traditional scrub, foam wash, and a proper 45-minute massage. The $45 price is appealing for the number of services included, and free Hurghada hotel pickup keeps the planning simple.
Before booking, check three things: your hotel’s pickup zone, the time needed for transfers, and your comfort with a firm body scrub. If you want long stretches in the sauna or a full luxury spa day, this may feel too brief. If you want a focused Turkish bath followed by a relaxing massage, it is a sensible Hurghada choice.
