A Moroccan hammam, also known as a Moroccan bath, is a traditional steam and exfoliation ritual that has been practised across North Africa and the Middle East for centuries. It combines warm steam, beldi black soap, a kessa exfoliating glove and a ghassoul clay mask to cleanse the skin deeply and leave it renewed. Our Moroccan Hammam & Bath in Al Barsha combines authentic Moroccan traditions with a relaxing private spa experience.
Unlike an oil massage, a Moroccan Hammam & Bath in Al Barsha is all about purification and skin renewal. The warm steam softens the skin, while black soap prepares it for gentle exfoliation with a kessa glove to remove dead skin and impurities. The result is softer, glowing skin and a deeply relaxing experience.
Every Moroccan hammam at Orchid Spa follows a traditional sequence, performed gently and unhurried in a warm, private room.
Warm steam
opens the pores, relaxes the muscles and prepares the skin.
Beldi black soap
natural olive-based soap is applied and left to soften the skin.
Kessa glove exfoliation
a traditional glove gently buffs away dead skin, revealing brighter skin beneath.
Rinse
warm water washes away the soap and lifted impurities.
Ghassoul clay mask
a mineral-rich clay mask cleanses and softens the skin further.
Final rinse and oil finish
a light moisturising oil leaves the skin smooth and luminous.
People return to the hammam again and again for how refreshed it leaves both the skin and the mind. While it is a beauty and wellness ritual rather than a medical treatment, the benefits many guests notice include:
Deep exfoliation that reveals brighter, glowing skin
Improved circulation as the warm steam opens the pores
A deeply relaxing experience after the warmth of the steam
Removal of dead skin buildup and everyday impurities
Skin that feels softer, smoother and more supple
A traditional beauty ritual with centuries of history behind it
These terms are often used interchangeably in Dubai, which can be confusing, so here is a clear guide. Whichever term you searched for, you are in the right place.
Moroccan hammam (Moroccan bath): black soap, kessa scrub, steam and a ghassoul clay mask. This is the ritual we offer.
Turkish bath: traditionally on a heated marble slab with a foam wash and a kese mitt, usually hotter and more intense.
Arabic bath: a regional term used in the UAE that most often refers to the Moroccan hammam ritual.
If you are actually looking for a warm oil massage rather than a scrub ritual, you may prefer our Arabic massage instead.
After the hammam, your skin is perfectly prepared and your body is already relaxed, which makes it the ideal moment for a massage. A soothing relaxation massage or aromatherapy massage pairs beautifully with the ritual, and you can also enjoy it together as a couples experience. Just mention it when you book.

My skin felt incredibly soft after the scrub. The black soap and the whole ritual were authentic, and the room was warm and peaceful. The best Moroccan bath I have had in Al Barsha.

It was my first hammam and the therapist explained every step. I left feeling completely renewed. Clean, private and very professional.

Glowing skin and a relaxed mind. Easy to reach from Mall of the Emirates and great value compared to other spas. I now book once a month.

What is the difference between a Moroccan hammam and a Turkish bath?
A Moroccan hammam uses steam, beldi black soap, a kessa exfoliating glove and a ghassoul clay mask to cleanse and renew the skin. A Turkish bath is usually performed on a heated marble slab with a foam wash and a kese mitt, and tends to be hotter and more intense. At Orchid Spa, we offer the traditional Moroccan ritual.
Is a Moroccan hammam the same as a Moroccan bath or Arabic bath?
Yes. Moroccan hammam, Moroccan bath and Arabic bath are all commonly used to describe the same ritual: steam, black soap, kessa scrub and ghassoul clay. Whichever term you searched for, you will receive our traditional Moroccan hammam.
How often should I do a Moroccan hammam?
Many people enjoy a Moroccan hammam once or twice a month to keep the skin smooth and refreshed. There is no fixed rule, so it really depends on your skin and how you feel.
What should I bring or wear?
You do not need to bring anything. We provide everything for the ritual, and you simply wear disposable underwear or swimwear that you are comfortable in. The treatment takes place in a private hammam room where your privacy is always respected.
Is the Moroccan hammam suitable for sensitive skin?
It is suitable for most skin types, and our therapists adjust the exfoliation to your comfort. If you have very sensitive skin or a skin condition, please let us know in advance so we can tailor the ritual, or check with your doctor first.
How much does a Moroccan hammam cost in Al Barsha, Dubai?
At Orchid Spa in Al Barsha 1, a 60-minute Moroccan Hammam is AED 450 and a 90-minute Royal Moroccan Hammam is AED 600. Prices may include applicable taxes, so message us on WhatsApp for the latest pricing.
