Hammam Experience | Cost: $65
A Moroccan hammam is a traditional, centuries-old cleansing ritual that uses steam, black soap, clay mask and intense exfoliation to detoxify and soften the skin. It not only leaves your skin feeling extra soft and clean, the treatment improves circulation, eases muscle tension and deeply hydrates the skin.
This will be offered at the riad that we are staying at in Marrakech. They typically work on 2 people at a time. This will be a 30 minutes treatment.
If you haven’t experienced a hammam in Morocco, you have missed out on a big Moroccan tradition!
PLEASE NOTE: THE COST OF THESE ACTIVITIES IS EXTRA. PLEASE BRING CASH FOR PAYMENT.
