When you think of Morocco, vibrant markets, the mesmerizing Sahara, and intricate tilework might come to mind. But one of the country’s most treasured secrets, hidden in the heart of every medina, is its hammams – traditional Moroccan bathhouses that offer an unforgettable wellness experience. From their rich history to their luxurious treatments, Moroccan hammams and spas provide a unique blend of tradition and relaxation that every traveler should experience.

The story of the Moroccan hammam dates back over a thousand years, deeply intertwined with the country’s cultural and social fabric. The concept of the hammam originated from the Roman bath culture and was later embraced by the Islamic tradition, which values cleanliness and purity. As Morocco developed its own unique style, the hammam became a place for cleansing, community gathering, spiritual reflection, and relaxation. 

Originally, hammams were built close to mosques to have a washing chamber before performing the prayer. Most of these bathhouses remained significant in people's lives because even in the early decades of the 20th century few homes had access to continuous water supply.

Modern civilization has brought modern amenities and the practice of the old public bath has been replaced but the Morocco hammam has continued to be a Moroccan tradition where vacationers can enjoy the warmth of Morocco’s tradition and beauty besides enjoying a break from the regular chores of life.

The Moroccan experience is not a simple washing, but washing using the hammam and it is more than a wash, it is a wash that involves all the senses. The moment one sets foot on the Moroccan hammam, he or she is immediately enveloped in an atmosphere of calmness.

The process begins in a warm room where your skin softens in the gentle steam, preparing you for the next steps: with special attention paid to the full-body scrubbing including washing with the well-known “Black Soap,” which is prepared of olive paste, eucalyptus and essential oils. 
 
After this, your skin is rubbed with a kessa glove to clean the skin and get rid of the dead skin cells to have a Look for radiant skin. After that, you wash it off with cool water as you hear and feel the good energy flowing in your body.

As you finally arrive at the last part of the walk, you are treated with an exotic Moroccan royal beauty treatment; a luxurious massage with argan oil which is heartily recommended as a natural moisturizer for the skin and also helps in getting rid of aging.
