Hammam Musa, Hot spring in El-Tor, Egypt.
Hammam Musa is a hot spring in South Sinai where thermal waters naturally emerge from the ground surrounded by desert landscape. The site provides paved walkways and changing facilities for visitors who want to bathe in the warm water.
These springs have served as a stopping point for travelers crossing the Sinai Peninsula for many centuries, with records going back to ancient pilgrimage routes. This long history shows how important the site has been for people moving between regions.
The name Hammam Musa comes from local traditions linking these waters to Moses and his journey through the Sinai wilderness. Visitors are drawn to this connection with biblical history, which remains very much alive in the region.
The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon when desert heat is less intense and the water feels most pleasant. There is a small cafe offering drinks and light refreshments, and basic facilities are available for visitors to change and rest.
The water has a specific mineral composition found only in this part of the Sinai region, created by the unique geological features of the location. This chemical makeup gives the water special qualities that regular visitors come to appreciate.
