The hammam has been a pillar of Moroccan culture for centuries. Much more than a simple steam bath, it is a ritual of purification for body and mind.
The process begins with exposure to hot steam, which opens the pores and prepares the skin. Next, a scrub with black soap and a kessa glove deeply removes dead skin cells.
The application of ghassoul, a natural clay from the Atlas, nourishes and softens the skin. Finally, a massage with argan oil hydrates and revitalizes.
The benefits are multiple: detoxification, improved blood circulation, relief of muscle tension, and incredibly soft skin.
Our team at Riad Sable Chaud will gladly advise and book the finest traditional hammams and spas in the Medina for you, located just a short walk away.
