There’s nothing like a bizarre spa treatment to get us going here at HotelChatter and today’s comes courtesy of the Taba Heights resort in Sinai, Egypt, which has announced the opening of a new salt cave that will be open to guests of all the hotels at the resort.

We have to admit we hadn’t heard of a salt cave before this (that probably makes us spa ingenues), but turns out it’s a health thing that goes way back, helping ailments such as:

Dermatological diseases, nervous system disorders, metabolic disturbances, digestive tract problems, underproduction of hyperthyroidism, heart disease and illnesses of the respiratory tract.
