Discovering Safaga’s Medical Tourism
Medical tourism perspectives pay a vital attention on Safaga, as it is characterized by the popularly known as the medicinal sand which contains three harmless radioactive materials of Uranium, Thorium and Radioactive Potassium in addition to having high amount of salt and minerals which play great cure purposes.
It provides with natural resources of such salts and minerals, which treat not one but various untreatable diseases in more than one way. The sun's rays help to release vitamin D from subcutaneous fat, which has an important role in strengthening and increasing bone density, as Safaga hotels are a successful model for environmental hospitalisation.
The hotels offer a medical tourism service for this category of tourists wishing to bury in the sand on the beach, under the supervision of a medical team, and the area is surrounded by mountainous heights, which makes it a barrier against wind and sandstorms, providing a pure atmosphere from impurities and dust, resulting in a concentration of ultraviolet rays that are of great benefit in treatment, especially in the early morning and pre-sunset hours.
Scientific research indicates that the charming nature of Safaga's waters is characterised by a high degree of salinity of more than 55 parts per million, which is a result of the low speed of the water current, in addition to the presence of a group of unique coral reef islands, which are a natural source of many salts and minerals that have more than one role in the treatment of many incurable diseases.
The beaches are rich in gold salts, and this is the result of the deposition of these heavy salts found in the torrential waters descending from the high mountains surrounding the Gulf, which contain rocks rich in gold salts and important elements that mix with torrential waters and are deposited in the sea silt, and for this it is applied to the body and then expose the skin to the ultraviolet rays of the sun in the early morning and before sunset.
