Massage Full Buddy Bath, Sauna & Jacuzzi Cleopatra Plus Hurghada
This is interesting because it is a full hammam circuit in about 2 hours, moving from heat to exfoliation to massage without long gaps. I like the clear step-by-step rhythm, with a sauna warm-up followed by steam bath time to get your skin and breathing ready. One consideration: a small number of write-ups raise questions about cleanliness (especially the jacuzzi) and pace, so you should watch how things look when you arrive.
I also like that the focus is on actual bodywork, not just soaking. You get soap-and-foam exfoliation, a coconut peeling section with a rejuvenating face mask, and then a long 45-minute relaxation massage. The best part for value is that this package bundles a lot of “spa steps” into one ticket for about $25 per person.
Key highlights you will actually feel

- Sauna to steam, in sequence (10-15 minutes each) to warm up before exfoliation
- Soap and foam peeling plus massage (20-25 minutes) for quick smoothness
- Coconut full body peeling and a face mask (30 minutes) for softer, refreshed skin
- 10-15 minute break plus free time to use the sauna, steam bath, and jacuzzi at leisure
- A big finish, 45-minute full body relaxation massage
Cleopatra Hammam in Hurghada: how a 2-hour circuit works

Think of this as a timed spa “progression.” You start with heat, then you get scrubbed, then you rest, then you settle into a slower massage finish. In real life, that order matters, because peeling right after you are warm feels better and leaves skin less angry.
The package is also pretty straightforward for planning. Expect around 2 hours total, and the experience is private, meaning only your group participates. If you like clarity and structure, this style fits.
You are paying about $25 per person, and the overall feedback score is strong, with 4.7 out of 5 and 95% recommendation. That does not mean every detail will feel identical, but it does suggest the core treatments are hitting the mark.

Sauna and steam: warming up without overcooking it

The program starts with a 10-15 minute sauna session. The goal is simple: warm up your muscles and open up your skin so the later scrubbing feels more effective. For me, the best part of the sauna stage is that it sets the tone fast. You stop thinking and just go with the flow.
Then you move into a 10-15 minute steam bath. Steam adds moisture and that “clean” feeling you get after you have been breathing warm air for a bit. If you tend to get lightheaded in heat, take it slow. You can shorten your time rather than forcing it, especially if the room runs hot.
One caution from the kind of feedback that really helps: some people flagged the sauna as very hot. That is not a deal-breaker, but it is a reminder to listen to your body. If the heat feels too intense, you do not need to win a heat contest.
The soap-and-foam peeling massage: where you feel it most
Next comes the core “hammam magic,” the 20-25 minute peeling and massage with soap and foam. This is the stage where your skin gets exfoliated and your body gets the massage attention that helps the scrub feel like therapy instead of punishment.
What makes this part worth your time is the combination. Exfoliation does the surface work, while massage helps your muscles loosen up and relax. In the feedback I read, massage technique was a standout, with multiple positive comments about the masseuse and the way the session was done.
Still, pace can be a factor. A few write-ups mentioned rushing during staff interactions. If you like a slow, unhurried experience, mentally prepare yourself. It helps to stay calm and focus on the sensations, not the clock.
Coconut full body peeling and face mask: the softer-skin phase

After the soap-and-foam step, you get 30 minutes of full body peeling using coconut, plus a rejuvenating face mask. This is where the experience shifts from “deep scrub” to “refreshed feel.” Coconut is a classic hammam ingredient, and the mask adds a facial element so you are not leaving the spa only half-treated.
This stage is also a good moment to tune in to your skin. If you have sensitive skin, you might want to pay attention to how strongly it is exfoliated and how your skin responds as you rinse. You should leave feeling clean and hydrated, but sensitive skin can react.
The included drinks and break also make sense here. You get hot drinks and a short rest of 10-15 minutes, so you are not going straight from peeling into the next step. That pause is practical. It gives your body time to settle down.

Jacuzzi and free time: enjoy it, but check it first

The program then includes free time to use the sauna, steam bath, and jacuzzi at your leisure. This is a nice bonus because it means you are not trapped in a strict schedule the entire 2 hours. It is also where you get to decide how much heat you still want.
Here is the part to approach with eyes open. Some feedback raised cleanliness concerns about the jacuzzi. That does not automatically mean every session is like that, but it does mean you should do a quick check when you arrive. If something looks questionable, it is okay to use the sauna or steam instead.
Also, if you are the kind of person who likes a consistent routine, this free time is still structured enough to feel safe. You already know the building and the rooms from earlier steps, so it is not a total reset.
The 45-minute full body relaxation massage: the payoff

The tour ends with a 45-minute full body relaxation massage. This is the longest single treatment in the program, so it usually becomes the emotional payoff. After exfoliation and heat, this massage is where you feel the difference in your body, not just on your skin.
This is also where the best ratings tend to cluster. Multiple positive comments mentioned that the massage itself was very good, and that the overall experience felt clean and relaxing. When you get the longer massage at the end, it is often what helps the whole circuit feel worth it instead of feeling like a quick scrub and a rush out the door.
If you are worried about the pace issue, the ending massage is your buffer. A relaxation-focused massage gives you time to slow down, breathe, and let your muscles actually cool off.
Included perks that make the $25 feel more real

You are not just paying for a scrub. The package includes practical extras that make the experience feel more complete: coffee and/or tea plus bottled water, and you also get an air-conditioned vehicle as part of the transport offering.
The treatment bundle itself is the big value. For around $25, you are getting heat exposure, exfoliation steps, a face mask, a jacuzzi option during free time, and a long massage finish. If you tried to price those services one-by-one at separate places, it would usually cost far more.
One more planning detail that matters: the experience is booked about 19 days in advance on average. That is a sign the good time slots can disappear, especially around busy travel periods. If you want a specific day, book earlier rather than waiting.
Price and transport: what can add cost depending on where you stay

The headline price is $25 per person. That is the base for the hammam package experience.
Transportation is where it can vary. Pickup is offered, but if you are staying in Makadi, Sahl Hasheesh, or Elgouna, transportation is listed as $10 per person. If you are staying outside those areas, the pickup option is likely part of the package for your hotel.
Two practical tips here. First, confirm pickup points so you are not left hunting for the entrance. Second, remember that the spa entrance experience can be confusing at first glance. A few people described feeling unsafe with a hard-to-find street location, so arriving with pickup and your group helps you stay grounded.
Cleanliness, safety, and staff pace: what to watch for when you arrive
This is the only section where you should be a little picky. Even with a high rating overall, hygiene and comfort are the dealbreakers for hammams. The feedback I saw included positive comments about a clean and relaxing space, but also mentions of dirty jacuzzi water and uneven cleanliness in some areas.
What you can do, right away:
- Take a quick look at the jacuzzi before committing your whole free-time chunk to it.
- Pay attention to how the space feels when you walk in. If the atmosphere feels off, you can switch your focus to the sauna or steam.
- Be ready for a more efficient pace. If you expect a slow spa float, you might feel the staff move quickly at times.
On staff professionalism, one write-up complained about a manager being unkind or unprofessional, while others praised welcoming service and good masseuse skills. That mix suggests the experience can depend on who is on shift. In other words, bring patience, but do not accept poor standards quietly.
Who should book this Cleopatra hammam package?
This one suits you if you want:
- A structured 2-hour spa experience rather than an open-ended one
- Heat plus exfoliation plus massage in a single ticket
- A finish that includes a long relaxation massage (45 minutes)
It is also a good match if you are coming off a long day or flight and want a quick reset. One comment described it as a great start to a holiday, which is exactly what a hammam circuit does well. It knocks the travel stiffness out, warms you up, and gives you that clean, washed feeling fast.
You might skip it if:
- You are very sensitive to hygiene details and expect every single area to be spotless at all times
- You dislike services that feel a bit rushed
- You are worried about locating the entrance, especially if you are not using pickup
Should you book Cleopatra Plus Hurghada?
Overall, I would book this if your main goal is a value-packed hammam day with real bodywork. For $25, you are getting more than one treatment phase, and the high rating plus the strong massage-focused feedback suggest the core experience works.
Just go in smart. Use pickup when available, do a quick cleanliness check once you can, and set expectations that this is a timed circuit. If you like structured pampering with a big finish massage, this fits. If you need a slow, ultra-premium, every-corner spotless spa mood, you may want to choose a place with more consistently mentioned standards.
