Cleopatra Plus Treatment & Massage in Hurghada

Cleopatra Plus is a $15 spa treatment in Hurghada built around heat, scrubs, facial care, and massage. You start with 10 to 15 minutes in the sauna and steam room, then move through a foam and soap treatment, coconut peeling, Cleopatra face mask, jacuzzi time, and a final massage.

I like the low price and the hotel pickup and drop-off in an air-conditioned vehicle. I also like the mix of treatments: this is more than a quick massage, and the sauna, steam, scrub, and facial give you a full reset after time in Hurghada’s sun.

The main concern is timing and organization. The advertised three hours includes transport, changing, showering, waiting, and treatment transitions, so actual therapy time can be closer to 75 to 90 minutes. Reports also point to crowded reception, uneven cleanliness, and occasional confusion over massage timing.

Key points to know before booking

• The $15 price covers several treatments: Sauna, steam, foam and soap peeling, coconut body scrub, Cleopatra facial mask, jacuzzi time, and a full-body relaxation massage.
• Your three hours are not all treatment time: Pickup, drop-off, changing, showers, and waiting are included in the overall outing.
• Massage timing needs clarification: The details list both a 30-minute and a 45-minute full-body massage.
• Hotel pickup is included in the main Hurghada area: Makadi and Sahl Hasheesh cost an extra €5 per person, while Safaga, El Gouna, and Soma Bay cost an extra €10.
• The facility can feel busy: Reception may be disorganized when several people arrive together, and the setting may feel more functional than luxurious.
• Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before departure: Cancellations inside that window are not refunded.

What the Cleopatra Plus treatment really includes

This is a budget spa outing rather than a quiet private retreat. The package strings together several familiar bathing and beauty treatments, giving you a lot for the listed price.

The sequence begins with heat. You spend about 10 to 15 minutes in the sauna and steam bath. This is meant to warm you up and soften the skin before the scrubbing treatments. The time is fairly short, but it gives the session a clear opening and helps you shift out of sightseeing mode.

Next comes a 20 to 25-minute foam and soap massage with body peeling. This is not the same as the final relaxation massage. It is more of a cleansing treatment, with soap, foam, and exfoliation used to remove dry skin. You should expect this part to feel practical and treatment-focused rather than deeply therapeutic.

The package then moves to a 30-minute coconut body peeling and Cleopatra face mask. The coconut scrub is aimed at smoothing the skin across the body, while the face mask adds a separate skincare step. The Cleopatra name is a nod to Egypt’s royal imagery, but the value here is simple: you get both body exfoliation and facial care in one appointment.

After that, you receive a hot drink and some free time. You can return to the sauna or steam bath, or spend 15 to 20 minutes in the jacuzzi. This pause matters because the first treatments are fairly active. You are not rushed straight from scrubbing into massage.

The last stage is a full-body relaxation massage. The information gives two different timings: the main description says 30 minutes, while the included list says 45 minutes. I would ask the spa to confirm the exact duration when you arrive. That small check can prevent disappointment, especially since one account reported that massage sessions did not always last as long as expected.

A practical look at the three-hour schedule

The advertised duration is about three hours, but you should not read that as three hours on the massage table or in treatment rooms. Pickup and drop-off take part of the outing, and you also need time to change, shower, move between rooms, and wait.

One detailed account estimated that the hands-on treatments added up to roughly 75 to 90 minutes. That fits the listed treatment times: 10 to 15 minutes of sauna and steam, 20 to 25 minutes of soap peeling, 30 minutes of coconut scrub and facial mask, 15 to 20 minutes of sauna, steam, or jacuzzi time, and a final massage listed at either 30 or 45 minutes.

The schedule may not run like a Swiss train. Reception can become busy when several people arrive at once, and transitions may take longer than planned. If you have a dinner reservation, airport transfer, or other fixed plan, leave plenty of space after the experience.

I would also treat the three-hour length as an outing window, not a promise of uninterrupted spa time. That is normal for a low-cost group treatment, but it is important to know before you compare this with a private hotel spa.

Sauna and steam: a short, useful opening

The sauna and steam bath begin the session. At 10 to 15 minutes, this is a gentle introduction rather than a long heat treatment.

The purpose is clear. Warmth helps you relax and prepares your skin for the foam massage and peeling. If you do not usually use a sauna or steam room, the short period may feel manageable.

You also have another 15 to 20 minutes of free time later, when you can choose the sauna, steam bath, or jacuzzi again. That second visit gives you more control. You can repeat the heat, try the jacuzzi, or simply take a break with your hot drink.

The facility may be shared, and the experience is not presented as a private spa suite. If you want complete quiet, ask about the order of treatments and the busiest times before settling in.

Foam, soap, and body peeling

The soap and foam massage lasts about 20 to 25 minutes. It is one of the more traditional parts of the package and focuses on cleansing rather than muscle work.

You then receive a full-body coconut peeling. The two treatments overlap in purpose, but they are not identical. The soap and foam session gives you a wash and exfoliation, while the coconut treatment is a separate body scrub paired with the face mask.

I like this combination for anyone who wants a noticeable skin-care element at a low price. It gives the package more substance than a short massage alone. Afterward, you may feel smoother and cleaner, but you should not expect a specialist medical or therapeutic skin treatment.

Be ready for a shared, active environment. One account described the spa as having a chain-like, crowded feel and raised concerns about cleanliness. That does not mean every visit will be the same, but it does mean you should set your expectations below those of a high-end hotel spa.

The Cleopatra facial mask and hot drink break

The Cleopatra mask is applied during the 30-minute coconut exfoliation and facial-care stage. It adds a slower moment after the initial heat and scrubbing.

The mask is best understood as a simple nourishing spa treatment, not a clinical facial consultation. No details are provided about ingredients, skin analysis, or special products, so I would not book this expecting a tailored dermatology service.

The hot drink afterward gives you a chance to pause. This is a small detail, but it helps break up the treatment sequence. You can sit, recover from the heat, and decide whether you want more sauna, steam, or jacuzzi time.

That pause also shows why the experience can fill three hours even though the main treatments are shorter. A spa visit includes the spaces between treatments, not just the treatments themselves.

The final full-body massage

The closing massage is meant to be a relaxing full-body treatment. It is not described as sports massage, deep tissue massage, or a treatment for a specific injury.

This makes it a good fit after a day of sightseeing, beach time, or sun exposure when you want gentle relaxation. The massage is also the part most likely to determine whether the package feels worthwhile, so confirm the duration before treatment begins.

The details conflict between a 30-minute massage in the main description and a 45-minute massage in the included list. That is the clearest practical issue in the package. Ask for the exact time and keep track of when the massage starts.

There was also one serious account of a guest being left alone in a massage room while staff lost track of her. That sounds like an organizational failure rather than a planned part of the treatment, but it is worth knowing. If you are separated from your companion, make sure the staff knows where you are and when your session should begin.

Pickup, resort areas, and group size

Pickup and drop-off are included for the main Hurghada service area. The vehicle is air-conditioned, which matters in Egypt’s heat and makes this easier than arranging a taxi both ways.

Extra charges apply from several resort zones:

• Makadi and Sahl Hasheesh: €5 per person
• Safaga, El Gouna, and Soma Bay: €10 per person
• Governmental fees: €5 per person

Those additions can change the value calculation. A couple staying in central Hurghada may pay close to the advertised rate, while a couple staying farther away could add €30 in transfer and government charges between them.

The maximum group size is 25 people. That does not mean 25 people receive every treatment together, but it tells you this is a shared commercial spa experience. Reception may feel crowded if several pickups arrive at once.

Pickup timing also affects the real length of your day. The three-hour estimate includes transport, and the vehicle may collect other people before reaching the spa. If you want a very quick, private appointment, a spa at your own hotel may be easier.

Value at $15, and where the bargain has limits

At $15 per person, the package offers a lot of separate elements. Even allowing for the short treatment blocks, you receive heat therapy, two forms of body exfoliation, a facial mask, jacuzzi access, a drink, and a full-body massage.

That is strong value for a budget-conscious visitor. It is especially appealing if you want to try a Turkish bath-style or Egyptian spa routine without paying hotel-spa prices.

The low cost also explains some limitations. You may wait between treatments, share facilities, and encounter a busy reception area. The setting may feel more like a working day spa than a calm luxury retreat.

I would compare the price with your priorities. If you want a broad menu of treatments and do not mind a group setting, this is a good deal. If you care most about perfect timing, spotless quiet rooms, or a guaranteed long massage, the bargain becomes less convincing.

Remember the extra charges. A $15 base price can rise with the €5 government fee and resort-area transportation. Check the final amount before you commit.

Who should book this experience

I would recommend Cleopatra Plus to you if you want a low-cost wellness break during a Hurghada holiday. It suits people who enjoy trying several simple treatments in one visit and who are comfortable with a shared spa setting.

It can also work well as a light recovery activity after sightseeing. The sauna, scrub, facial mask, and gentle massage offer a pleasant change from the beach or hotel pool.

You may want to skip it if you need a fully private experience or have a strict schedule. The treatment times are not perfectly consistent in the information provided, and the spa can become disorganized at busy arrival times.

This is also not the right choice if you are looking for medical massage, specialist skincare, or a long deep-tissue session. The massage is described as a relaxation massage, and the facial mask is a general beauty treatment.

Small details that will make the visit easier

Confirm the massage length when you arrive. The package lists both 30 and 45 minutes, and this is the one detail most likely to affect your satisfaction.

Allow extra time after the stated three hours. You may need to wait for transport, change, shower, or move between treatment rooms.

If you are staying outside central Hurghada, calculate the added €5 or €10 transfer charge, plus the €5 governmental fee. The advertised price is attractive, but the total matters.

Keep your expectations practical. The experience is designed around a sequence of treatments at a low price, not around silence, privacy, or elaborate service. If the reception area is busy, stay alert to the order of your treatments and make sure staff know what you are waiting for.

The provider is Esso Tours, and confirmation is issued when you book. Mobile tickets are accepted, and most people can participate according to the supplied details.

Should you book Cleopatra Plus?

Book it if you want a cheap, varied spa afternoon with pickup, several body treatments, and a final relaxation massage. The price is hard to ignore, especially for visitors staying near Hurghada who would otherwise pay much more for a hotel spa.

Go in with realistic expectations. The three-hour window includes transport and waiting, the massage length needs confirmation, and the operation may feel crowded or unevenly organized. For a polished luxury experience, spend more elsewhere. For a broad treatment menu at a very low price, Cleopatra Plus is a sensible Hurghada add-on.
