★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 681 reviews · 3 days · from $25

A hammam attendant applies black soap, scrubs your skin with a new kessa glove, adds a Ghassoul wrap for women, then washes and rinses you. Towels, products, and mint tea are included.

“I was a little nervous going in, but this was exactly the kind of authentic hammam experience I was looking for in Marrakech - definitely not the polished, touristy spa version. Expect to strip down and be thoroughly scrubbed and cleaned (this reaches places the more commercial hammams don’t!) The women were very friendly and welcoming, and even with my broken French we managed to communicate just fine. It’s women-only (the men’s hammam is next door), and while it may feel a little intense at first, I felt amazing afterward - skin soft, body relaxed and totally refreshed.

“We started off getting picked up by a very nice luxury van. Our guide Seyhan took us to try some tea and treats at a local shop. There was no pressure to buy anything. Next, we went to Ephesus where Seyhan gave us a great tour. We then visited the remains of the Temple of Artimis before heading to lunch. Lunch was on a quaint farm and a very good three-course meal. There was too much food for just two of us, but it was all very yummy. We watched a demonstration about how the carpets were made inside the carpet shop and again, there was no pressure to buy.…”
