. Salinas Burj Al Arab.
Medical tourism has become an integral part of the global tourism system and despite the availability of the elements of medical tourism in Egypt, but the features had not been completed so far, despite its success on multiple areas of the Red Sea, such as Mount Sinai on the Gulf of Suez and Sharm el-Sheikh on the Gulf of Aqaba .. And still Arab tourists who seek treatment go to the Dead Sea in Israel because of the potential tourist progress there although the Dead Sea full of pollutants that cause the metal to reduce the success rate of treatment required. The student scientific research conducted recently and the need to exploit the potential of Salinas site of the Burj Al Arab, where the presence of natural brines high concentration and the right atmosphere in the field of environmental treatment for psoriasis and other diseases.
The water salt works out of a natural, a sea water and is characterized by water Salinas Burj Al Arab, the existence of special conditions related to the environment, construction, design and organization of basin focus and shape and drainage, can control the degree of focus, either mitigation or focus, Burj Al Arab in the case of use for the purposes of treatment of psoriasis and that access to the required focus in time for this, as characterized by Salinas Burj Al Arab, the existence of hills north and south of navigation works bulwark blocking a natural against wind and sand storms, and the atmosphere of the region free from pollution and impurities that dispersion sunlight, and there are also basins like bays (calm waters) is not the wave function as a mirror reflecting the rays of the sun to the earth’s surface, in addition to the salinity of a very high increase of up to seven times the water in the Gulf of Safaga, and thus ease of buoyancy and reduce the forces of gravity, which leads to a significant improvement in the activity of blood circulation within the body and thus increase the amount of blood that reaches the skin and thus happens balance between the amount of salts within the body and outside it, and this balance has a significant impact in the speed of healing psoriasis. In addition to this entire region by the breathtaking beauty of natural elements and is conveniently helps to relax the patient and improve his mood.
These features of the Salinas Burj Al Arab makes it a competitor is important in the healing natural for patients with psoriasis, especially for areas of the Dead Sea, which has the disadvantages of such critical lack of sun in the region during the autumn and winter, and lower the Dead Sea area from the sea 390 meters, making it unsuitable for heart patients, and increase the proportion of component bromine that causes skin allergies.. To all this can be used to the climatic conditions and environmental salt concentration Bmlahh Burj Al Arab for the treatment of patients with psoriasis and the development of the Burj Al Arab on the map of medical tourism.
And the intervention of Alexandria in the field of tourism therapeutic alternative, especially that Joe Borg El-Arab fit well with this project because the humidity medium with a temperature between 15 and 20 ° C, which affects mood and health for the tourist who wants to hospitalization, especially as tourists therapeutic advantage for the tourist the normal length of residence in the city treatment of this period ranging between two to four weeks, in addition to the rate of spending is double that for the tourists .. I must emphasize that it is not necessary to serve the medical tourism patients only, but extend to healthy people and businessmen who would like to recreation and away from the rhythm of modern life, where tourists enjoy the calm and beauty in the flood of mineral water salinity was appropriate and then practice some sports light.
I would like to point out that the first to develop the scientific basis for medical tourism in Egypt is Dr. “Hassan Bek Mahmoud wise” through the manuscript, which was discovered in the municipal library haraam and your entitled to “the fountain brink of chilling in the bathrooms, Helwan,” which placed nearly 127 years.
