Hi,

I would really appreciate if somebody could answer asap!

Here is the problem:

My financee has birthday tomorrow (I guess you already now where this is heading to "ashamed"). She is a Canadian, studying now in Cairo, I am Egyptian but in Germany.

Anyway, I told my cousin to get her a nice flower arrangement in white. I know, very uncreative.. but it should only serve as a appetizer, till the packet I was supposed to send her from Germany arrives.

So he tells me, it costs around 300 Egyptian Pounds, because it is mothers day in Egypt and on short notice.

Anyways, I figured out that a "beauty & wellness" treatment would be much better. I know she would love it, since she's never giving herself any special treatment. And she has back-problems too.

WELL HER IS MY REQUEST:

SORRY... (this is the important part)

Does anybody know any facility? Like a hamam. Or a decent beauty center?

I asked already the Four Seasons and their offer was 190 US$ for a package, adding to it 30% Tax and other fees.

Its way too much for me, since I am a student.

150-300 Pounds would be okay.

I heard of a Moroccan Hamam in Cairo, which sounded perfect. Steam bath, rinsing, cleaning and stuff like that. A real refreshment treat amidst Cairo Pollution.

I would really much appreciate any kind of suggestion or hints regarding "Beauty & Wellness".

Thank you.

but sure to tell them that your friend told you about this place and that these are the price she told you that they had. or else they will make it higher. [Wink]
