A spa day is what we all need to make the most out of our weeks spent relaxing during the summer. Our weekly self-care routine just doesn’t seem to cut it any longer, and we end up feeling the need to be truly pampered and cared for by professional hands. One of the most rejuvenating and relaxing spa experiences is the famous Moroccan hammam, which, luckily for us, Cairo has plenty of. There are so many benefits of a Moroccan bath, like improving blood circulation and relieving muscular tension, so we highly encourage you to go for one when you can. Here are five of the best places for a Moroccan hammam session in Cairo.

Sipal Spa

At Sipal Spa, you can just sit back and relax as your therapist pampers you and leaves you glowing. You can enjoy a massage, a Turkish bath, an Indian bath, or even get your nails done, but we highly recommend you give their Moroccan bath a go. Let the professionals exfoliate your skin and leave you feeling like a brand-new person.

Bliss Spa

For those who live near Heliopolis, this one’s for you. Bliss Spa is an amazing place to get pampered regardless of what you’re looking for, be that a massage, a facial, or getting your hair and nails done. But the most exciting part of Bliss Spa has to be their Moroccan bath, where they will treat you like royalty and have you come out a different person.

Al Sagheer Salons

They need no introduction. Al Sagheer are the absolute best in the salon industry, but did you know that they also offer Moroccan baths? Naturally, considering they get celebrities ready for the red carpet, they are our go-to when we want our hair and nails to be picture-perfect! So you should give their spa a try if you haven’t already, as it promises to be a relaxing and rejuvenating experience.
