What Is a Moroccan Bath? A Complete Guide

Steam and warm stone tiles inside a traditional Moroccan Hammam room

The Moroccan Bath, often called a Hammam, is one of the oldest and most respected wellness rituals in the region. Traditionally practised across North Africa and the Middle East, it centres on steam, warmth and gentle cleansing — a slower, more intentional way to care for the body.

At Pearl Island Spa & Massage in Oud Metha, the ritual begins in a warm, steam-filled room designed to soften the skin and help the body relax. A black exfoliating mitt is then used to gently remove impurities, followed by a rinse and a period of quiet rest.

Many guests describe the experience as refreshing rather than intense — it is designed to leave you feeling clean, calm and renewed, not fatigued. The ritual is well suited to guests visiting Oud Metha who want a traditional, full-body wellness experience without a physically demanding treatment.
