Relaxation Package: Cleopatra Plus with Massage in Hurghada
Book on Viator →Operated by Dream Voyage · Bookable on Viator
A little heat, a lot of pampering, good value. The Cleopatra Plus package turns a long day in Hurghada into a structured spa reset with sauna, steam, peeling, and a proper 50-minute full-body massage. I like the hotel pickup and drop-off setup and the tight 3-hour flow. I also like the mix of Cleopatra-style peeling and face masking, not just a generic rubdown. One thing to consider: a couple of reports flagged cleanliness and water quality, and the space can feel noisy, so you’ll want to go in with clear expectations.

Cleopatra Plus in Hurghada: what you get for about $11

This spa package in Hurghada, sold as Cleopatra Plus with Massage, is priced at $11.20 per person for the core experience. For that kind of money, the big win is that you’re not just buying a massage. You’re buying a full circuit: sauna, steam, peeling, a face mask, jacuzzi time, and then a long massage. The duration is about 3 hours, which is long enough to feel like a day event, but not so long that it eats your whole afternoon.
The group size is capped at 25 people, so it’s usually more “organized flow” than chaotic free-for-all. Your booking confirmation comes at the time you book, and you get a mobile ticket to keep things simple. The operator is Dream Voyage.
Value also depends on where you’re staying. If you’re in areas where pickup is included, you’re set. If not, you may pay extra for transfers (more on that below). One more practical detail: the most common booking rhythm is about 5 days in advance, so it’s smart to grab a slot before you lock in other plans.

How the 3-hour rhythm works: pickup to the massage room

The experience runs for roughly three hours, and it moves in a pretty clear sequence. First, there’s a brief overview, then you start with a short sauna session (10–15 minutes). After that comes steam bath time (10–15 minutes). These warm-up steps are there for a reason: they soften the skin so the peeling part feels more effective and more comfortable.
After the steam, the program switches to the hands-on part. You’ll do a soap-and-foam peeling and massage for 20–25 minutes, then move into the signature treatment for 30 minutes of coconut peeling plus a Cleopatra face mask. That’s where the “this feels different from a regular spa” feeling usually comes from.
Then you get a break: hot drinks and relaxation, followed by 15–20 minutes of free time to use the sauna/steam/jacuzzi area again. Finally, you finish with the 50-minute full-body relaxation massage.
In practice, the flow matters because it reduces decision fatigue. You show up, you follow the schedule, and you don’t have to negotiate which treatment to do first.
Sauna then steam: the warm-up stage that sets expectations
The package starts with sauna (10–15 minutes) and steam (10–15 minutes). This is a classic hammam-style approach. You get warmth in two forms: dry heat first, then moist heat. Together, they help your body feel ready for exfoliation.
Here’s the key expectation-setting point: this part is not where you get the “wow” factor. It’s where you get the groundwork. If you go in thinking this is going to feel like instant spa luxury, you might be disappointed. But if you treat it like the preparation step, it makes the peeling and massage feel more satisfying later.
A couple of practical considerations based on the feedback pattern: this environment can be a bit noisy, so if quiet is your top priority, you’ll want to focus on the massage portion as your main calm time. Also, since one report mentioned concerns about cleanliness and water quality, I’d personally watch for basic hygiene cues when you arrive.
Soap-and-foam peeling, then the Cleopatra-style coconut + face mask

After sauna and steam, you move into the exfoliation and massage phase. You’ll get 20–25 minutes of peeling and massage using soap and foam. This step is usually the closest thing to a “scrub and reset.” It can feel very effective, but the pressure and thoroughness depend on the therapist and the day.
Then comes the part people talk about most: the 30-minute complete body peeling with coconut plus a Cleopatra face mask. This is where the package leans into its theme. It’s not just an off-the-shelf facial add-on. You’re getting a full body peeling element plus a dedicated face treatment.
What you should know going in: peeling can be a little intense. Plan on feeling smoother after, but don’t plan on “zero sensation.” If you’re sensitive to heat or strong textures on skin, be gentle with communication and ask for adjustments early.
Also, keep an eye on timing. The mask stage is long enough that you’ll want to stay put and relax during it. If you’re the type who hates waiting, this segment might feel slower than the massage portion.
Hot drinks, then 15–20 minutes of jacuzzi and downtime

Between treatments, you get a small breather: hot drinks and a chance to reset. Then there’s 15–20 minutes of free time where you can use the steam bath and jacuzzi again.
This is a sneaky important part of the value. Without downtime, spa schedules can feel like a factory line. With this pause, you get a moment to cool down, slow your breathing, and actually enjoy the experience instead of just completing it.
That said, one piece of feedback to take seriously: the facility can be noisy, so full relaxation may be limited during the non-massage portions. For you, the practical approach is simple—treat the jacuzzi/free time as a cool-down window, and save your “I want quiet” mindset for the 50-minute massage at the end.
And yes, bring what you need to use the jacuzzi area. One strong tip in the feedback was to come with a swimsuit.
The 50-minute full-body massage: where the real payoff is

The final treatment is the reason many people book this. You get a 50-minute full-body relaxation massage. It’s long enough for real attention, not the rushed “halfway through already” feeling you can get with shorter massages.
The strongest praise here is about the therapist quality and adaptability. People reported that the masseuse adjusted to their needs and worked through knots—from feet up to head—rather than doing a generic routine. That matters because the difference between a nice massage and a memorable one is usually how the pressure and focus are handled.
Now for the balanced bit: one negative report said the therapist wasn’t good. That doesn’t mean every session is bad, but it does mean you should speak up. If the pressure is wrong, ask for changes. If you’re uncomfortable, say so early. A relaxation massage should feel safe and doable.
If you’re going mainly for massage quality, your best bet is to pick this package and communicate clearly when you start.
Price, extra transfer fees, and how to avoid surprise costs

The base price is $11.20 per person, which is unusually low for a package that includes hotel pickup and drop-off, multiple spa steps, and a 50-minute massage. That’s the headline value.
But you need to check the transfer rules depending on where you’re staying. Extra transfer charges can apply:
- $5 per person extra from Makadi, Sahl Hasheesh, and Al-Ahiaa
- $10 per person extra from Safaga, El Gouna, and Soma Bay
- $5 per person for governmental fees
So the real total can change depending on your hotel area. Still, even with extras, the structure is hard to beat if your goal is a full spa circuit in a few hours.
Also, this package is generally designed for most people. If you’re planning this as a big treat day, it fits well into a Hurghada itinerary because it doesn’t require all-day scheduling.
Who should book Cleopatra Plus, and who should think twice

This package is a great fit if you want:
- Hotel pickup convenience with minimal hassle
- A structured 3-hour spa format (sauna → steam → peeling → mask → jacuzzi time → massage)
- Strong value for a longer 50-minute massage
- An experience with a Cleopatra/coconut-themed twist, not just a standard western massage
I’d think twice or go with extra caution if:
- You’re extremely picky about cleanliness or water quality (a few negative points were noted)
- You expect a quiet, luxury spa atmosphere (some reports said it can be noisy)
- You’re very sensitive to strong exfoliation and peeling stages
If you’re traveling as a couple, this can also work well because it’s a complete reset in one block of time. One note from feedback even pointed to doing it together, which suggests the flow is workable for pairs when schedules line up.
Practical tips before you go
Here are the small moves that help most:
- Bring a swimsuit since the program includes jacuzzi free time.
- Go with the mindset that the first half is preparation. The big comfort payoff is the 50-minute massage.
- If you care about cleanliness, do a quick check when you arrive and speak up if something feels off.
- Expect the atmosphere to be less like a silent sanctuary and more like an active spa environment. If you want quiet, use the massage time as your main calm zone.
- During the massage, don’t be shy about asking for pressure adjustments. A relaxation massage should match your comfort.
And one more practical thought: the building itself can look like a side-street setup from outside. That doesn’t automatically mean anything bad. Just don’t judge the whole experience by the curb view. Focus on what happens once you’re inside the spa area.
Should you book Cleopatra Plus with Massage in Hurghada?
I’d book it if your priority is value plus variety—sauna, steam, exfoliation, a Cleopatra-style face mask, jacuzzi time, and then a long massage. At this price level, the package is built to give you a full spa day feeling without a luxury-spa luxury price.
I wouldn’t treat it like an ultra-high-end resort spa. The feedback includes both strong positives (efficient pickup, professional massage, great value) and a few red flags (cleanliness and water quality concerns, noise). If those things matter to you, go with clear expectations, and communicate early.
If your goal is simple: get picked up, warm up, get peeled, cool down in the jacuzzi, and leave feeling lighter—this one fits.
