Traditional Hammam Experience
Marrakech, Morocco
About This Activity
The hammam is central to Moroccan daily life and has been for over a thousand years. Experience the ritual at a traditional public bathhouse or mid-range spa: move through progressively hotter steam rooms, receive a vigorous scrub with black soap and a kessa glove, then relax with an argan oil massage. Traditional public hammams cost 50-100 MAD for entry plus scrub, while heritage spas like Le Bain Bleu or Hammam de la Rose charge 300-500 MAD for a full package with tiled domes and marble floors.
