Infrared saunas for Cairo apartments and compound flats

Why infrared suits an Egyptian summer

Radiant panels warm the skin directly while the cabin air stays at 45–60 °C, which is why infrared feels bearable in June when stepping into a 90 °C room does not. Sessions run 25–40 minutes, and the cabin reaches working temperature in roughly a quarter of an hour.

It is not a Finnish sauna — there are no stones and no steam — and we do not sell it as one. For someone who wants a daily sweat at home without building a wet room, it is often the more honest recommendation.

Power, tariffs and a shared building

Egyptian apartments run 220 V single phase at 50 Hz. A two-person cabin draws 1.5–2.2 kW, so its own protected circuit — breaker plus RCD — from the board is all it needs — no application to the distribution company.

A forty-minute session uses roughly 1.3 kWh. On the household tariff published by EgyptERA, which reaches about 2.1–2.6 EGP per kWh for homes above 650 kWh a month (April 2026), that is a few pounds a session. Where the building switches to a backup generator during outages, the cabin is a modest load to include.

Dust, sun and older buildings

Cairo dust is fine and constant and settles on panels and vent grilles; a soft brush once a month keeps them clean. A cabin standing in afternoon sun behind a west window never feels pleasant and fades its timber, so we place it in a bedroom corner, a dressing room or an inner hallway.

Older Zamalek and Heliopolis blocks bring narrow lifts and tight stair turns. We measure the lift car and the landing before confirming the order, and the panel sizes follow those numbers.

Built in our factory, assembled in half a day

Each cabin is built and dry-assembled in our Istanbul factory, checked, then flat-packed and shipped to Alexandria or Port Said. Our crew carries the panels up, assembles the cabin in about half a day, connects it to the circuit your electrician has prepared and runs the first session with you. The warranty is 24 months.

What it costs in pounds

For two people, expect 70 to 120 thousand EGP indicative, supplied and installed. The range covers carbon or ceramic panels, an optional near-infrared lamp, aspen or hemlock, and a glass or timber front; bigger cabins and hybrids with a small Finnish heater are priced from a drawing.

Message us a photo of the space and the width of the lift door, and you get an itemised price back within one business day.

In short

• 220 V single phase, 1.5–2.2 kW on a dedicated circuit — no utility application
• Air stays at 45–60 °C, so it is usable in an Egyptian summer
• Placed out of west sun, panels sized to your lift and stair
• Indicative 70–120 thousand EGP for two people, 24-month warranty
