CAIRO – 19 June 2024: The therapeutic tourism season in Siwa Oasis begins right after the Eid al-Adha holiday, bringing a wave of rejuvenation and excitement to the oasis. A significant number of visitors from various Egyptian governorates and abroad flock to Siwa for traditional treatments of bone and skin diseases, obesity, and to enjoy the enchanting nature of the oasis. Traditional treatment centers provide accommodation, service, and care during the treatment period, which ranges from 3 to 9 days depending on the patient's health condition. Giri highlighted that the traditional sand burial treatment has been inherited by the people of Siwa from their ancestors, who in turn inherited it from the Pharaohs. After the session, patients enter a tent, which functions like a natural sauna.
