REVIEW · SHARM EL SHEIKH
Cleopatra Program 120 min ( with Oil massage )
Book on Viator →Operated by Momento Studio Sharm El Sheikh · Bookable on Viator
A Cleopatra reset in just two hours.
This 120-minute treatment in Sharm el Sheikh is built for a spa hit without losing half a day, mixing a coconut body peel, face mask, foam and soap massage, then a natural oil massage. I especially like how it’s structured like a true ritual rather than a quick scrub-and-go.
I also like that the experience includes the stuff that makes you feel rested after—sauna time and a relaxation space—plus a hotel transfer so you’re not juggling taxis. One thing to consider: a couple of past reviews raised concerns about cleanliness and towel/room freshness, so it’s smart to check what you’re given as soon as you arrive.

Key highlights you’ll feel in 2 hours

- Coconut peel + face mask as part of a full Cleopatra-style routine, not just a massage
- Red Sea salt hand-and-foot cleaning plus foam/soap massage along the way
- Sauna and relaxation area included, so you start warm and end calm
- Staff named Najwa, Saly, and Amany were praised for welcoming energy
- Private Turkish bath setup at Momento Studio Sharm El Sheikh (it’s described as the only private one in the area)

Cleopatra Program in Sharm el Sheikh: fast spa time that still feels complete
If your Sharm el Sheikh days are packed—beach in the morning, excursion in the afternoon—this is a rare spa option that fits real life. The schedule is about two hours, and the flow is designed like a mini circuit: warm up, scrub/peel, mask and cleansing, then finish with a full body oil massage. You’re not paying for someone to stretch it out into a half-day.
The value here is in the package coverage. You get more than the massage itself: you’ll have sauna access and a relaxation area, plus extras like a hot drink and bottled mineral water. And since pickup/transport is offered, you save time on logistics—especially helpful in heat when you don’t want to wait around.

Entering the warm-up zone: sauna and a private Turkish bath vibe

The experience is described as including sauna and a relaxation area. That matters more than it sounds. If you’re going straight from outside heat, you’ll feel rushed. Here, you get a proper start so your body is warmer before the scrubs and oils go on.
It’s also billed as a private Turkish bath setup at Momento Studio Sharm El Sheikh, and the provider notes it’s the only private Turkish bath in Sharm el Sheikh. “Private” in this context is useful: you can expect a calmer environment for your group (the activity is listed as private, meaning only your group participates).
That said, cleanliness comes up in the reviews. When you arrive, take 60 seconds to check what you’re given—towels, the smell in the changing area, and the cleanliness of the treatment space. If something feels off, speak up right away so it can be fixed while you’re still at the start.
The step-by-step Cleopatra ritual: coconut peel, mask, and cleansing
Here’s how the treatment is laid out, in the order you should expect elements of it:
Coconut body peel (the “start the glow” step)
You’ll have a body scrub/peeling with coconut, followed by a face mask. This is the core “Cleopatra” moment: exfoliation first, then letting a mask work while your skin is prepped. The benefit for you is texture and smoothness—often what people want after a beach day or a bit too much sun.
Practical tip: if you have sensitive skin, tell the therapist before the peel. You’re not asking for a medical diagnosis; you’re just giving them a heads-up so they can adjust pressure or time.
Salt Red Sea foot-and-hand cleaning
After the peel/mask steps, the program includes cleaning hands and feet with Red Sea salt. This is a classic spa technique aimed at gentle exfoliation and rinsing away dead skin. It can also feel refreshing if you’ve been walking a lot in sandals or dealing with dry skin from sun and AC.
Foam massage and soap massage
The ritual continues with soap massage and foam massage, plus shower time. This part is where you often feel the “reset.” It helps the skin feel clean without needing extra product later.
One drawback to be aware of: massage quality can vary, and at least one guest felt the massage wasn’t skillful. It doesn’t mean the whole experience is bad—just that you should communicate clearly about pressure and what feels good to you.
Full body natural oil massage: where the relaxation really lands
The finale is a full body oil massage using natural oils. This is where most spa-goers feel the difference: the tension release after scrubbing and cleansing. Oils also help your skin feel softer longer, which is a nice “aftercare” effect when you’re spending the rest of your vacation in warm weather.
The package also includes a hot drink, and you’ll have time in the relaxation area. That combination is more than comfort—it helps you avoid the “walk outside and feel sticky again” problem. If you finish and immediately head back into the sun, you won’t get the full benefit of the warm, oiled, relaxed state.
Massage expectations: what to say before they start
Based on the mixed feedback, the biggest variable seems to be massage technique—some people loved the experience, and others felt their masseuse was inexperienced and their bed or room didn’t feel pleasant. You can’t control everything, but you can control your instructions.
When they start, keep it simple:
- Tell them your preferred pressure: light, medium, or firm
- Mention areas you want extra attention on (shoulders, lower back, legs)
- If something feels uncomfortable or too rough, say so immediately
If you’re the type who hates surprises, ask at the start what the sequence will be and how long each stage typically takes. That’s not being difficult. It’s being practical.
Price and value: is $70 worth it for a 2-hour Cleopatra session?
At $70 per person for about two hours, this is positioned as an express spa treatment. The key question isn’t just price—it’s what’s included versus what you’d normally pay separately.
From the details provided, you should get:
- Sauna and relaxation area
- Cleopatra-style steps: coconut peel, face mask, soap/foam massage, shower, salt cleaning for hands/feet, then oil massage
- Bottled mineral water
- Hot drink
- Towels and transfer/pickup via hotel transport service
- Listed as private for your group
For many visitors, the transfer + towels + sauna access are what make it feel like a real package rather than a la carte. If you were to book a massage and then separately pay for transport and entry to a bath/sauna area, the cost can climb fast.
The only caution on value is the hygiene/comfort comments from some reviews. If cleanliness is a top priority for you, treat this like any spa purchase: verify what you’re being offered right away so you’re not stuck mid-treatment.
Pickup, transport, and how to fit it into your day
The experience includes pickup offered and return transport via hotel transport service. That’s a real help in Sharm el Sheikh, where you’d rather spend time by the sea or at your hotel than waiting for rides.
Because the treatment is about 120 minutes, I’d plan it like this:
- buffer time before pickup, especially if your hotel is far from the spa
- plan a relaxed afternoon after, not a fast dinner-change-run
- bring something easy to slip into afterward (you’ll likely be showered and oiled)
The session also includes showers in the flow, so you can expect to leave feeling reset. That’s a big quality-of-life win when you’re bouncing between activities.
Who this Cleopatra massage suits (and who might want a different option)
This is a great match if:
- you want a spa experience without a full half day
- you like scrubs/peels and not just massage-only
- you enjoy sauna time and a place to cool down after
- you’re okay communicating preferences for massage pressure
It may not be your best pick if:
- you’re very strict about hygiene and dislike any uncertainty, given some negative feedback on towel freshness and room odor
- you expect luxury amenities like perfectly maintained changing areas based on standard spa expectations—some reviews suggested otherwise
Age-wise, it’s listed that children under 10 years old are not allowed. The experience also notes most travelers can participate, so for many adults, it should be straightforward.
What the best reviews tell you to look for
The strongest praise centers on welcoming service and an enjoyable treatment. Names like Najwa, Saly, and Amany were specifically thanked for the experience and excellent welcome. That’s a good sign that the human side can be a highlight, not just the oil.
At the same time, a serious negative review described old, smelly towels/changing area and an inexperienced-feeling massage. The practical lesson for you: don’t silently accept “maybe it’s fine.” Ask, check, and adjust right away.
Should you book the Cleopatra Program at Momento Studio?
Book this if you want a two-hour Cleopatra ritual that goes beyond the massage and includes sauna time, peeling, mask, cleansing steps, and an oil finish—plus pickup/transfer and simple refreshment extras. It’s a smart value when you’re trying to compress vacation fun into limited time.
Skip or reconsider if hygiene and comfort are deal-breakers for you, because the reviews include enough concern about cleanliness/towels and room smell that you’d be taking a risk. If you do book, arrive ready to do a quick check on towels and the treatment area before the main steps start.
In short: this can be a genuinely relaxing, well-rounded spa stop in Sharm el Sheikh—just go in with your eyes open, and speak up fast if anything feels wrong.
