.HE EGYPTIAN GAZETTE: Six
teen miles south of Cairo, the
charming little town Of Heluan

i affords q grateful oasis whose
climate is Of remarkable
purity. Heluan is the oldest Of all
Egyptian thermal stations, as 1t was
already renowned in the days Of Amen
hotep, 1900 BIC, for the salubr1ous
effect Of its sulphurous springs.
There are very few places IN the
world where, In the midst OF twentieth
century luxury. the same rest may be
obtained as at Heluan. It Is not merely
owing to the presence Of the natural
sulphur springs that Heluan Is recon-
mended as q Winter health resort, the
climate being an almost equally impor-
tant factor Surrounded by the desert
on all sides and $50 feet above the Nile
Valley, standing In q unique position,
climate Is nearly perfect. The town
enjoys abundant sunshine throughout
the entire Winter Ia daily average OF
eight hours sunshine as against five
hours in the resorts on the south coast
Of France. Practically no rain Zone
inch being the average total Winter
rainfalD and dry, invigorating desert
air, the purest that the world offers.
There are no trying variations OF
temperature from day to day and no
sudden fall Of temperature at night.
Heluan is the only place near Europe
waters sulphur saline) and baths can
be obtained during the Winter months
in q Summer like climate. 1t Is an
ideal place for Winter residence and
Is wonderfully bracing to rundown
constitution even without recourse to
the baths.
Heluan might have been and might
yet be one Of the worlds premier health
resorts. Even as things are today. we
feel that Heluan Is unduly neglected
by residents of Cairo. who often go
much farther afield In search Of the
change and rest which can be more
pleasantly and more economically en-
joyed at Heluan.

This individual is not an ordinary
