Medical Tourism often involves traveling to more advanced countries such as Germany and the United States to access medical services and specialized surgeries. These countries are known for their high-quality hospitals, advanced equipment, and cutting-edge technology.
Another form of medical tourism is “Curative Tourism”, which involves traveling to certain countries for healing based on natural factors, such as exposure to dry sunlight, the Dead Sea, or the use of underground, mineral, and sulfur-rich waters. It also includes practices like sand baths in dry sands to treat skin or organic diseases without the use of medical drugs.
Why Egypt?
Traveling can be time-consuming, exhausting, and risky at any time. Despite these challenges, medical tourism in Egypt has a history dating back 4,000 years.
Moreover, ancient Egyptian temple drawings depict pharaohs and doctors treating visitors from all over the world with the magic of natural warm mineral waters rich in minerals and natural springs.
To this day, Egypt remains renowned for medical tourism globally, as it contains all the components of an ideal medical tourism destination. This includes a moderate climate, affordable prices for both treatments and tourist attractions, a wide range of services in well-equipped medical centers and spas, and healthcare specialists with international education and training who help treat many diseases.
