Traditional Moroccan Hammam & Massage in a Riad

Marrakech medina2 hoursPrivate

Overview

The hammam is part of daily life in Morocco: a place to wash, relax and meet friends. In a riad spa you enjoy the same ritual in a calm and private setting, with experienced therapists who explain every step.

After the steam and scrub your skin feels completely new. Then you rest with a massage using pure argan oil from the south of Morocco, and finish with tea in a quiet lounge. It is the perfect break after a long day in the souks or a trip to the desert.
