Bir Sigam Hot Spring

Egypt has many world-renowned tourist attractions, including Sigam Well, one of the most important natural hot springs in the Bahariya Oasis, located 7 kilometers west of the Bahariya Oasis on the Cairo Road.

Sigam is a famous shrine that attracts thousands of visitors to enjoy its sulfurous underground water that helps cure rheumatism, arthritis and digestive issues, so it is crowded during the day with those who want to relax and recover by diving into the sulfurous water, while at night it is devoid of visitors.
It is worth mentioning that the water temperature of the Sigam Spring is 45 degrees and the sulfurous water is delivered to it by pumps extending 1,000 meters underground.
The advantage of this water, according to the medical guide, is that it contains large amounts of manganese and phosphorus, which contribute to lowering blood sugar levels in diabetics, and these elements are useful for patients with osteoporosis and vitamin deficiencies.

There are many geothermal springs in Egypt's list of medical tourism destinations, numbering around 1,450, but those in the Western Desert in the Dakhla Oasis region, the Helwan Oasis Group, Ain al-Sira in Cairo, and Ras Sidr in Sinai remain the most attractive.

Specialists in the field of medical tourism say that the eyes of the Bahariya Oasis are unrivaled as the hottest of Egypt's springs, springs and wells.

Oasis water contains the highest percentage of sulfur compared to wells in other places, in addition to many mineral salts and minerals of therapeutic value such as sodium carbonate, magnesium and iron, as well as medium salinity.
