Turkish Bath: trip overview
After snorkeling and desert dust, a traditional hammam is pure bliss. The ritual starts in the steam room, continues with an exfoliating scrub and a cloud of foam on a warm marble slab, and ends with a relaxing oil massage.
Separate areas and therapists are available for women and men, and couples can book together.

Your day, as it feels
The hammam ritual is an Egyptian and Middle Eastern tradition, and after days of salt water, sun and desert dust it feels like a reset button. It begins with warmth — sauna and steam — before an exfoliating scrub on a heated marble slab.
Then comes the foam: clouds of it, followed by a relaxing oil massage and a glass of tea in the rest area. You'll leave with the softest skin of your life.
