The Treatment

About moroccan bath

The Moroccan bath, or hammam, is a cleansing ritual rather than a massage — and the difference in your skin afterwards is immediate and unmistakable. It remains one of the most popular treatments in Dubai, for good reason.

The ritual begins with steam to warm the body and soften the skin. Traditional black soap, made from olives, is then applied and left to work before your therapist exfoliates thoroughly with a kessa glove. This is the stage guests remember — the amount of dead skin lifted away genuinely surprises most first-timers.

Ghassoul clay, drawn from the Atlas Mountains, follows. It draws out impurities and leaves the skin remarkably soft. The ritual finishes with a warm rinse and a light application of moisturising oil or argan-based cream.

It all takes place in our private hammam suite with heated stone. You will step out with skin that feels genuinely renewed — noticeably smoother, brighter and cleaner than any shower achieves. Many guests pair it with a massage afterwards, since the skin is warm and receptive at that point.

Benefits

Why guests choose moroccan bath

  • Deep exfoliation

    Kessa glove scrubbing removes layers of dead skin that ordinary washing simply cannot reach.

  • Visibly brighter skin

    Skin looks clearer and more even immediately, with a natural glow that lasts for days.

  • Deeply cleansed pores

    Steam opens the pores and ghassoul clay draws out accumulated impurities.

  • Softer texture

    The change in how your skin feels to the touch is the thing guests comment on most.

  • Better product absorption

    Moisturisers and oils applied afterwards work far more effectively on freshly exfoliated skin.

  • A true ritual

    Warm steam and heated stone make this as restorative mentally as it is physically.

The Process

What happens, step by step

  1. 1

    Steam

    You relax in warm steam for several minutes, softening the skin and opening the pores.

  2. 2

    Black soap

    Traditional olive-based black soap is applied across the body and left to draw out impurities.

  3. 3

    Kessa exfoliation

    Your therapist scrubs thoroughly with a kessa glove, lifting away dead skin. Pressure is adjusted to your comfort.

  4. 4

    Clay, rinse and moisturise

    Ghassoul clay is applied and rinsed away with warm water, finishing with a nourishing oil or cream.

Questions

Moroccan Bath — your questions answered

  • What should I wear during a Moroccan bath?

    Disposable underwear is provided and worn throughout — you are never fully undressed. The treatment takes place in a private hammam suite with only your therapist present.

  • Does the scrubbing hurt?

    It is vigorous but shouldn't hurt. The kessa glove feels firm and quite abrasive, which is exactly what makes it effective. Tell your therapist if you would like lighter pressure and they will adjust.

  • How often can I have a Moroccan bath?

    Every three to four weeks suits most skin. More frequently than that doesn't give the skin adequate time to renew between treatments.

  • Can I combine a Moroccan bath with a massage?

    Yes, and we would recommend it. Book the bath first — the skin is warm, clean and receptive afterwards, which makes an oil massage feel even better. Mention it when booking so we allow enough time.

  • Can men have a Moroccan bath?

    Absolutely. It is popular with both men and women, and you may request a male or female therapist when you book.
