If you’re looking for real Moroccan relaxation—not just another spa day—this hammam and massage combo is worth it. You’ll get private transport, authentic treatments using local products, and leave feeling lighter inside and out.
The first thing I noticed when we stepped inside was the gentle warmth—almost like a soft hug after the dry air outside. Our driver had picked us up right on time, chatting about his favorite mint tea spots as we zipped through the city’s early evening traffic. Once at the hammam, there was this earthy scent of olive oil soap mixed with something floral—maybe orange blossom? It felt both new and oddly familiar.
Sitting in the steam room, you can actually hear water dripping somewhere behind the tiles. Buckets of hot and cold water are stacked nearby; I watched a local attendant expertly scoop and pour, making it look almost like a dance. The black soap went on slick and cool, then came the ghassoul clay—soft, a little gritty, but soothing as it warmed on my skin. My guide explained that this clay comes from the Atlas Mountains and is used by locals for generations to cleanse and soften skin. After rinsing off, my arms felt lighter somehow—like I’d left half my worries behind with the steam.
The Berber massage started with a foot soak in warm water infused with herbs—I caught hints of rosemary and maybe wild thyme. The masseur worked slowly from feet to shoulders using argan oil (pressed locally), applying just enough pressure to ease out knots without ever making me tense up. There’s no rush here; you really do lose track of time. By the end, my skin felt smoother than it had in years—almost baby-soft—and there was this calm that lingered long after we left.
