Local Guide Tips

Honestly, after living in Hurghada for over ten years, I’ve seen tourists make the same mistake over and over again: they go on an intense quad bike safari or spend 8 hours in the desert, burn their skin, and then try to book a spa scrub. Ouch!

Here are my top local tips for getting the absolute best out of your Spa & Trips from Ancient Hill:

Local Pro Tip: Always book your Hammam scrub on day 1 or day 2 of your vacation! Scrubbing off dead skin cells before sunbathing gives you a much smoother, longer-lasting golden tan. If you get sunburnt first, a traditional scrub will hurt!

Just last week, a couple from the UK staying in El Gouna messaged us on WhatsApp after a long flight. They were exhausted and skeptical about whether a spa day would really help with jet lag. We picked them up, set them up with the full Hammam and massage package, and by the time they finished their hibiscus tea in the lounge, they felt like brand-new people. They actually booked a desert safari trip with us for the very next morning!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe for solo travelers and women?

Yes, absolutely! The spa facilities follow high European hygiene and safety standards. Professional male and female therapists are available, and privacy is fully respected at all times.

How long is the transfer to Ancient Hill?

Transfers within El Gouna usually take between 10 to 20 minutes. If you are staying nearby in Hurghada, transfers typically take around 25 to 35 minutes. Remember, we provide free hotel pickup and drop-off in clean, air-conditioned vehicles.

Can kids join the spa session?

Children under 12 are generally not recommended for deep heat thermal saunas or intense body scrubs. However, teenagers aged 12 and above can join with parental consent for lighter relax massages.

Should I shave before the scrub?

To be honest, it is best not to shave or wax on the morning of your treatment. Open pores can feel slightly sensitive when natural black soaps or exfoliators are applied.
