There is no better way to experience Moroccan culture than by treating oneself to a unique spa experience at Marrakech’s hammams. These public bathhouses are scattered all over the city but you can always find one near mosques. Communal hammams in Marrakech are clean and usually have a host of attendants to make visitors feel comfortable. In fact it’s even possible to get a masseur/masseuse for an additional fee. Don’t forget to carry your own toiletries and towels. If you’re looking for an authentic experience, then head Hammam El- Bacha, Marrakech’s largest traditional hammam.
