Highlights
  • Le grand balcon du café glacier - The Traditional Moroccan Hammam Spa is a unique experience that everyone should try once in Marrakech. This experience will allow you to live like a local for once.

Here is what we are going to do:

A traditional Moroccan Hammam will have three rooms. We will start in the hot room for a few minutes to relax and allow our pores to open. Afterward, we will apply the Moroccan black soap, also called soap Beldi, made with natural and olive soap.

Relax for five minutes before we wash up thoroughly with warm water. The soap will work its magic to soften our skin and make the scrubbing easy.

We use so-called the Kess to clean your body. After, the scrubbing step, we will head to the shower room where we will clean our hair with Ghassoul, and apply some oil to soften our skin.

You will love this experience as Moroccans go once a week to a Hammam.

please bring your own towel with you.
Men and women are separately treated.

Our 3 Female Hammam Experience - I am still amazed. This Hallam experience was what we needed after having a week in Marrakech. Saida was very kind and took care of us. We were 3 females. The scrubbing was surprising as we are not used to it but after the scrubbing our skin felt so soft. The experience as whole ws worth the price as my friend has already did a touristic Hammam but she said she did not get thé enough scrubbing. I highly recommend it as a local experience.

A great experience! - The meeting point is somewhat awkward, but it’s understandable. You would probably miss the actual place if you actually tried looking for it. Saida met me a little after the appointed time, but was very sweet. The actually hamam experience was exactly what I needed after being in the desert. I was scrubbed, massaged, and bathed clean. I would definitely do it again! Please note that the whole experience took less than an hour.

Amazing girls Hammam time - We were 4 girls and we had the best time in the Hammam. Saida took very good care of us. The scrubbing was gentle. We loved our experience. I highly recommend you to book this experience.

Hammam Value for money - Truly authentic experience. I travel with a family of 4 with two daughters andy wife. The tour guide is nice and his service is amazing 😍. Since the tour will go to the local bath room so be prepared it is not a hotel like style but the environment is acceptable and very local. Price may be half or below half of the hotel...,kids are ok.

Skin like a new-born baby - My sister and I enjoyed this public hammam with a local guide, Saida, who scrubbed us clean. We’ve never felt so exfoliated and soft. It was a little gross to see all that dead skin wash away. A great experience, I highly recommend it.

Excellent do not miss experience - Saida helped us. She was absolutely amazing. She met us outside and showed us where to put our things. She guided us through the whole process. First, she puts the black soap that sits and opens up your pores. Next she scrubs you to get all the dead skin off. Next she put a lotion on and gave us a massage. We sat and enjoyed the heat for a bit. Excellent experience.

Very authentic - This was one of the strangest experiences of my life - not necessarily in a bad way! We met at the meeting point which was pretty easy to find, we were met by a woman and her son. From there we went to 3 different hammams to try and get in. Apparently a lot of the women’s are closed currently because of the earthquake. When we got to the third hammam the women’s was open and so me and my husband were separated for the remainder of the experience - we did expect this so it wasn’t an issue. The hammam was full of Moroccans, I was the only British person in there and unfortunately the woman I was with didn’t speak a word of English so we communicated through hand movements. The experience itself was brilliant, she was very gentle with me despite rubbing off two layers of my skin in the process, the outcome of which left me with the softest and smoothest skin. I would recommend this experience if you are happy to amerce yourself into the culture, being surrounded by the Morrocan in a place which they feel very comfortable was a great way to try out the treatment. However if you would prefer something more tourist driven where you can communicate effectively and you will be prioritised then this wouldn’t be ideal. Thank you to Saida and her son for their brilliant hospitality.

Rejuvenating, Revitalising, Chillaxing - Traditional Authentic Hamman bath and massage experience was truly amazing. Felt awkward at first but the Hamman ladies were all nice, kind and gentle until we felt at ease. Indeed must try this old-fashioned way instead of going to extravagant ones. In here we can help the Native Moroccan and experienced the real rejuvenation & restore your body.

Real and authentic!!! - I really didn’t know what to expect at all so it was a bit of adventure. I’ll be honest it wasn’t like the pictures - it was basic and definitely no frills. It did feel like we probably got a hammam experience like the locals - not like tourists. If that is what you are after you will get it but it won’t be for everyone. Our hotel staff told us it is the custom to get a similar treatment weekly on a Sunday. Meeting outside cafe glacier didn’t work so we went to the address on the ticket which was just along from the cafe - the optician knew what we were after and asked his neighbour who said the lady would be 5 or 10 mins. She duly arrived dressed very traditionally. She was sweet and friendly but didn't really speak English or very much French. I asked if she wanted to see our ticket but she didn’t have any way of checking it but showed me her contact on WhatsApp which was the same one I had from WhatsApping the contact number on my ticket earlier. Anyway it was a match so I decided it was probably ok to follow her. She led us to the hammam - separate male and female entrances so we were apart for the hour. In the end it was a good experience but I wish I had known what to expect and to be able to communicate would have helped - instead we used a lot of hand gestures. I was treated well and after some serious exfoliating with a mitt and shedding skin like a snake I was left with silky smooth skin. I wore a bikini and kept the bottoms on for most of it - optional I guess. I was sitting or lying on a mat on the floor throughout. She treated me well and responded when I found the pressure too much or whatever. I emerged feeling like I had really experienced a real authentic hammam!

Hamman experience - We booked this experience for the Hamman experience. Unfortunately the Hamman looks nothing like the pictures advertised. It was more of a public bath and was very unsanitary with pubic hair all over the floor. Would definitely not recommend!!
