Retreat Treats
The Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at the First Residence offers a sanctuary of calmness that admits the hustle and bustle of Cairo. The hotel spa promises a serene and rejuvenating experience, where therapists minster Asian-inspired and tailor-made treatments to re-energize and restore your mind and body. The Thai massage is a perfect treatment after a busy day strolling the streets of Cairo, while the oil-free massage includes a series of positions to encourage the release of any energy blockages. However, our go-to has to be their Turkish Hammam. The treatment combines ancient Turkish rituals with contemporary sophistication, leaving your skin feeling soft with a natural glow that will last long after your stay.
