Traditional Hammam in Hurghada in 2026

Visiting an oriental bath (hammam) in Hurghada during the first days of your holiday is a golden rule among experienced travellers. Deep cleansing of the pores prepares your skin for a perfect, even and long-lasting tan.

The stages of a classic hammam

• Warming up in the steam room and sauna: 15–20 minutes at a comfortable humidity open the pores and relax the muscles.
• Exfoliation with a Kese mitt: An experienced attendant gently removes dead skin cells.
• Airy foam massage: Warm, soapy foam made from olive soap wraps the body in a cloud of cleanliness.
• Moroccan black soap and Ghassoul clay: Deep mineral nourishment in the Moroccan version of the hammam.
• Jacuzzi and contrast pool: Tones the blood vessels and leaves you feeling incredibly light.
• Massage with natural oils: The closing note of the spa programme, lasting 30–45 minutes.
• Fragrant herbal tea: Relax in the lounge area with Egyptian tea and oriental sweets.
