Geothermal direct use in the country is mainly limited to balneology, swimming pools and potable water bottling. Reconstruction of swimming pools has made some progress in the last years and the number of newly built outdoor pools has increased as well. The number of bottling companies has increased during the last five years from two to five private enterprises. The product is mainly for the local market. (Zarhloule et al., 2010).

No data were provided for the geothermal use, thus, one of the authors (Lund) estimated the following for 12 pools: 5.02 MWt and 79.14 TJ/yr for bathing and swimming.
