The Moroccan Hammam Experience

Cleanse, Recharge, and Embrace a Ritual Loved for Centuries

Not Just a Bath—A Full-Body Reset

If you’re visiting Tangier—or lucky enough to live here—you can’t leave without experiencing a Moroccan hammam. It’s more than a bath. It’s a ritual. A way to connect with local culture, care for your body, and walk out feeling brand new.

Whether you’re after a no-frills traditional steam room or a serene spa version with rose water and candlelight, Tangier has it all. And we know exactly where to send you.


What Exactly Is a Hammam?

Think of it as a deeply cleansing steam bath, followed by full-body exfoliation, buckets of warm water, and pure bliss. Traditionally, locals go weekly to wash, detox, and socialize. It’s relaxing, purifying, and surprisingly affordable.

Most hammams offer:

  • Steam Room access
  • Black soap & kessa glove exfoliation
  • Hair wash, clay masks, or massage add-ons

Some are simple neighborhood spots. Others are elegant wellness retreats. Either way, you’re in for an experience your body will thank you for.
