Authentic Hammam Spa Trip 

​

This Moroccan ritual makes itself known around the world for it's relaxing and cleansing treatment that is centuries old.

​​

Fun Hammam Facts:

• Boosts the immune system. The hot steam used during hammam boosts the immune system by dilating the blood vessels and increasing circulation in the body, opening pores so toxins can be released

​

• Rejuvenates the body. There is something genuinely transformative about the power of hot steam to restore tired, aching muscles. 

​

• Intensely invigorates. The intense scrubbing and massage you experience during hammam lead to your body experiencing a considerable increase in blood flow, in turn, stimulating and awakening the senses.

​

• Relaxes the mind and body. Thanks to its use of intense heat and steam, as well as the relaxing massage element, you’ll find it hard to find a treatment more pampering and relaxing than hammam.

Local Souk Adventure

​

The marketplaces, or souks, are integral parts of the many cities in this magical country. They serve for the locals as a place to buy goods and converse with each other, but for the foreign visitor they are a place unlike any other. 

​

Fun Souk Facts:

• A souk is the name given to an Arab market. Traditionally an open-air market that locals relied on for their essential items, a souk would have traveling merchants passing through them once a week, once a month or at other infrequent periods. Marrakech’s strategic location at the heart of Morocco, however, meant that many traders came through the city every day

​

• Through the years, Moroccan craft artistry changed due to modern techniques and chemical dyes used in the creation process. There are still high quality craft pieces displayed at Moroccan souks and market places, however. Start by getting as close to an art piece as a vendor will allow.

​

• Some of the most sought-after items in Moroccan souks and markets are Moroccan carpets, blankets and Moroccan rugs. All are hand crafted in traditional Moroccan style.
