Fez's Top Hammams, Traditional Moroccan Steam Baths

It’s worth noting that there are usually two different sections in a hammam, one for women and another for men, because once inside, everyone gets completely naked. And usually, women will be scrubbed and massaged by a woman, and in the men’s section there are only men working.

This incredible hammam is located in the heart of Palais Amani, one of the best hotels in Fez, and offers a relaxed atmosphere with stunning decor.

You can sit in the sauna and relax while you wait for your turn for the famous Moroccan scrub to remove all your dead skin. Afterwards, you will feel like a prince or a princess. This will definitely be a pampering session you will remember for a long time.

This spa is also located within a five-star hotel, and has traditional but chic decor. At the wonderful Palais Faraj, the staff are friendly and professional and you will feel pampered at all times.

This hotel spa is a small hidden treasure located in the heart of the old medina of Fez. Upon arrival, you will be greeted with a glass of fresh Moroccan mint tea, and the staff will even take you to the rooftop terrace to enjoy the magnificent 360° view of the oldest medina in the world. Once your rooms are ready, you can relax while sitting in the sauna, and sometimes there is pleasant background music. Again, you can choose between a scrub and a massage, but if you haven’t had a scrub in a while, we do recommend one, as seeing all the dead cells being removed from your body is very satisfying!
