For Solo travellers and small groups we offer you a raw foods and fasting retreat in Egypt by the Red Sea at dates to suit you, for  as long as you wish to stay. Great for those who just wants to relax, do nothing but lie in the sun or sit with a book in the shade sipping juice.

Soak up the beautiful Red Sea and Sinai scenery, lose weight and restore your vitality. Then treat yourself to some fascinating local excursions. A magical Egyptian detox adventure awaits you in Nuweiba Sinai Egypt.

Working with our retreat venue Sayadeen Village in Nuweiba, who are now familiar with the requirements of our detox and fasting menu, we are able to offer an all year round retreat. Go when you like. Stay as long as you like. We will tailor the detox menu to suit you, all fasting or all raw foods, or a mix of both.

You have a wellbeing consultation with Sandra Hillawi based in the UK, by phone or skype, before travelling to get orientated about what to expect on your retreat, how to make the most of your cleansing programme and items in your detox kit. Sandra can offer some tips about the local area and staff to maximise your enjoyment, and to discuss any particular requirements you have so the menu may be adjusted. The wonderful Chef Baraka will be at your service to provide your meals and juices according to the menu designed by Sandra Hillawi.

You fly to Sharm el Sheikh or Taba, solo or with friends, and the Soliman Travel transfer vehicle from the resort will meet you at the airport and take you to Nuweiba.

Sayadeen Village is quiet undiscovered gem, which is great for a retreat, as you will feel you have the place almost to yourself, though you will be very well cared for by their excellent staff.

Sandra will be available from the UK by phone text or email if you have questions during your stay. The hotel staff and your personal chef will support you at the resort.

Transfers from the Airport to Our Venue

Group transfers from Sharm el Sheikh airport to the Hotel,  will be by Soliman Travel's 4x4 8 seater car.

For groups of 4 or more it is £50 return from Sharm le Sheikh to Nuweiba. For smaller groups or solo transfers an additional premium will be applied to meet vehicle costs.

Solo transfer by Licenced Limousine Taxi $125 (£80) return trip.

You may of course arrange your own transfers, by taxi from Sharm el Sheikh or Taba airports or by bus from Cairo.

Either way, please let us know when you book if you would like us to arrange your transfers to and from the airport to the hotel.

On arrival at the airport you can purchase a visa for £10 approximately from one of the bank's or visa offices in the arrivals area. However, if you are planning to stay a) 14 days or less or b) to stay within the Sinai area, then you do not require a visa and can go direct to the immigration and passport control.

Optional excursions outside Sinai eg Cairo or Petra and stays longer than 14 days require that you purchase a visa at the airport.

Preparation for Your Detox

After booking you will receive a receipt and confirmation by email plus information about how to prepare for your detox retreat. Sudden changes in diet can create symptoms of discomfort so it is advised to make some dietary adjustments to make a gentle transition to your detox. You will also be asked to complete a confidential health questionnaire so we will have an idea of your health background, aims for the retreat, so that we can help you achieve the best results for your own health and wellbeing. A consultation will be offered before your travel date to discuss your aims and orient you for your retreat.

Detox Symptoms, Health & Body Weight

The standard detox menu includes 3.5 days on juices per week. This may be extended and tailored to suit you and adjusted for longer stays. If you have a health condition or low body weight or you have any doubts about your suitability for this dietary programme please discuss this at your consultation so that meal adjustments can be planned in advance to accommodate your particular needs. Guests with low body weight are not advised to do longer than 3.5 days juice fasting and do so at their own risk.

Some guests may experience any or a number of detox symptoms during the detox process, most of which should ease after a few days as vitality returns and health improves : decrease in energy, headaches, feeling nausea, general malaise, mood swings and emotional irritability, cravings, skin conditions, loose bowel movement.

Which symptoms are experienced, if any, and for how long depends on the level of the individual’s health and lifestyle prior to the detox and whether you follow the detox preparation guidelines which are sent in the Pre-Travel Information. Instruction will be given on how to minimise detox symptoms during the retreat using stress release techniques, drinking plenty of water and use of enemas for colon cleansing. Please note however, that guests undertake the detox at their own risk and take full responsibility for detox reactions that they may experience.
