The ritual of the hammam in Marrakech (2)

The hammams consist of three rooms: the first, tibia, the second and third hot hot. For people who have problems with low blood pressure and overweight as well as a first experience of the hammam discourage the last room to avoid shocks. Each room is prepared with hot water taps and cold and many plastic buckets. The first thing you have to do is find a place to unwind our mat, fill several buckets of water at the temperature prefer and place them around our mat. Once this is done the next steps are: 1. Get wet all over. 2. Daubed with black soap and relax for a few minutes to let the product act on our skin. 3. Wet the washcloth and massage it all over the body strong. If you are a woman and is the first time you go to the hammam recommend seeking the services of the same staff to do the peeling as it requires a simple technique but it is necessary to learn if we get a good result. Normally requested at the entrance and exit are paid on the same desk wardrobe.

For men however things are different. Due to the strength of the masseurs at times tourists have found the hammam too "violent?. A peel is an aggressive process if so, gentlemen, if you are not used is better to go slowly.

4. Rinse with water from buckets. 5. Smeared his body with shower gel and washing the hair. 6. Flush with water buckets again. 7. Dry off a few minutes and relax. In cases in which aid is requested hammam staff for peeling and almost certainly get the same price (about 8 euros) a relaxing massage. Moreover, we washed the hair and lathering and rinsing us as if we were children / young ace / ace. In short we could say that the hammam is no place for modesty. Women who walk their children to the park covered by veils and even burkas, walk through the rooms of the hammam completely naked without any shame to the tourists impressed passed suddenly take on the role of shame. Also within a hammam is common to see people shaving (women's legs, underarms and even the pubis), brushing teeth etc.. Everything you normally do in the privacy of our bathrooms is made public in a hammam. Once we have drying (towels are left hanging on racks placed at the outlet of the warm room) and according to tradition, must dress covering much for not getting cold and drink plenty of water.

I personally recommend you try to visit the hammam is a day that should work to enjoy the relaxing feeling that takes hold throughout the day. It is also particularly pleasant evening to go to sleep peacefully tonight. As already mentioned, most hotels have their own hammam Marrakech, usually very luxurious and tempting. Virtually all of Marrakech riads also have their own hammam, cozy, elegant and fully equipped. They can also stay and visit one of the great villas in Marrakech where, in addition often have their own hammam pool, gym and even sports fields.
