Holistic detoxification, skin mineralisation, and creative reconnection.
Arrival & The Sanctuary of Silence
Morning: Arrival at Blue Shali. Welcome ritual with Siwan Lemongrass & Hibiscus tea (rich in anthocyanins and Vitamin C).
Afternoon: Introduction to Kersheef Living. A private workshop on how the salt walls act as a natural ionizer, promoting deep relaxation and respiratory health.
Sunset: A private boat trip to Fatnas Island. Mindfulness meditation during the "Golden Hour" to regulate cortisol levels.
Nutrition: "Skin-Food" Dinner: Grilled vegetables with Siwan olives and extra virgin oil (rich in Vitamin E and polyphenols).
The Halotherapy & Beauty Axis
Morning: The Salt Lakes (Aghurmi). A private floating session.
Beyond muscle relaxation, the high salinity performs a natural "osmotic peel," exfoliating the skin and drawing out interstitial toxins.
Afternoon: Cleopatra’s Bath (Spring of the Sun).
Activity: A natural sulfur soak followed by a Siwan Clay Facial Mask (harvested locally). The clay’s high mineral content absorbs excess sebum and tightens pores.
Nutrition: Mediterranean-style mezze with sprouted grains and local dates.
The Art of Siwan Heritage (Women’s Circle)
Morning: Visit a Women’s Embroidery Cooperative. Siwan embroidery is a language of symbols; learn the meaning behind the "Sun" and "Desert" patterns.
Activity: A private workshop in the Blue Shali garden. Try your hand at traditional embroidery or palm-leaf weaving.
Afternoon: Exploration of Gebel al-Mawta. Focusing on the history of the Siwan women throughout the Greek and Roman eras.
"Flow State" creation engaging in rhythmic, manual crafts reduces anxiety and improves neuroplasticity.
