Why consider the Egypt for cosmetic surgery?

Egypt is one of the cornerstones of civilisation and has a legacy of historical sites.  Situated on the north-eastern corner of the African continent, it is linked to Asia by the Sinai Peninsula and has long been an important crossing point between the continents of Asia, Africa and Europe.  The great thing about combining a holiday with cosmetic surgery in Egypt is that both can be achieved for the price it would cost for just the surgery in the UK and great savings can be made. 

 

In Egypt, Rhinoplasty will cost around £1,500, breast augmentation £2,000 and a face lift £2,100.  By comparison, in the UK, Rhinoplasty costs up to £4,000, breast augmentation up to £5,000 and a face lift up to £6,000.  Furthermore, surgeons in Egypt undergo many years of intensive study and training to practice and in fact many surgeons are western trained.  RS Cosmetica in Cairo, works with some of the most experienced surgeons in Egypt in hospitals equipped with state of the art facilities and multi lingual staff.  Many of their clients are from the film and entertainment industry. 

 

Imagine having some body enhancement surgery at a private hospital near the Red Sea, or overlooking the Nile and the Pyramids?  Before and after surgery medical tourists can relax on beautiful beaches or be pampered at one of the country’s spa resorts to help restore energy, stamina and vitality before returning home feeling refreshed and renewed.  Sun worshippers and diving enthusiasts might want to head to luxurious locations such as El Gouna, a vibrant town between the Sienna Mountains and the Red Sea surrounded by gorgeous turquoise lagoons, or Sharm el Sheik which has one of the world’s superior diving spots at Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef within the Ras Mohammed National Park.

 

Egypt’s most popular attractions include ancient sites like Giza where the Ancient Egyptians began their glorious civilisation and left behind the famous Pyramids, the Temples of Luxor and Karnak, the Valleys of the Kings and Queens and Abu Simbel.  And then there’s a vast array of exotic food to sample, as well as the many bustling bazaars or shopping malls to hunt out cut price designer clothes and jewellery.  And all this is just a short flight from the UK.

 

The capital, Cairo, is the largest city in the Arab world - and in Africa - and is a colourful lively place with stunning architecture, narrow bustling streets and quiet corners with cafés.  Alexandria is Egypt’s second largest city and known as the city of excitement because of the ancient discoveries found there, including a wrecked ship dating back to 90 BC and the royal palace quarters where Marc Antony used to reside.

 

Arabic is the official language but English and French are also spoken.  As far as climate goes Egypt lies within the dry tropical region, except for the northern parts that lie within the warm moderate region, with a Mediterranean climate characterised by hot dry summers and moderate winters and little rainfall.
