What’s the experience like?

Stepping out of the van, I caught the faint scent of orange blossom drifting from a nearby courtyard. Our driver, Khalid, gave a quick nod before leading us to the hammam’s tiled entrance—easy to miss if you’re not looking for it. Inside, the air felt thick and warm, almost like a gentle hug after the dry city streets. A woman in a deep green djellaba handed me a soft robe and slippers. She explained (in French and a bit of English) how the hammam ritual works here—steam first, then scrub, then total relaxation.

The steam room was hotter than I expected, but not uncomfortable. You could hear water trickling somewhere behind the wall tiles. After a few minutes, my skin felt softer—almost slippery—and the attendant started the exfoliation with black soap and a kessa glove. It’s not rough, just honest; you can see why locals swear by it. The massage that followed was slow and steady—no rush at all. My therapist worked out knots I didn’t know I had, using argan oil that left my skin lightly scented for hours afterward. We finished with mint tea in a quiet lounge before heading back to our hotel, feeling lighter than when we arrived.
