Riad Isis

If you've never had a moroccan hammam experience you are in for a surprising treat. Buckets of warm water, intense exfoliation, more buckets of warm water, it's just how the locals do and it can be a bit overwhelming if you're not prepared. We just laughed at first as we were surprisingly splashed over our head by the kind and smiling ladies who worked the hammam. The ladies do need to exit the sauna 2-3 times during the experience to get fresh new scrubs and mud that they use on you, but are very discreet in making sure no one can see inside the doors as you lie there topless. it's not meant to be a silent experience, but you can definitely relax and feel how buttery smooth your skin is afterward. You are then escorted to your massage (depending on the package you get) where if you are lucky, Mariam will give you the best massage of your life. Two days later we went back just for the massage which was still enjoyable but not as good as the hammam experience before being massaged. You are served fresh moroccan tea afterwards as they bundle you up in front of a fire in a dimly lit room where you may just fall asleep. Take it form this massage enthusiast, hammam first, massage next (by Mariam) and then just relax. Very clean, calming, and pretty upon entrance and in the rooms.
