I had the idea that hammam spas in Morocco were overrated tourist attractions. I was so wrong. My Heritage Hammam Spa in Marrakech was one of my best experiences ever. I would certainly say you should put it on your itinerary when visiting Morocco. But how does it compare to the authentic, local hammam experience?
Before I went to Morocco, I had no idea what a hammam was, let alone whether I should try a hammam for men in Marrakech. On my first trip, I tried the authentic, local hammam, which this article details. When I returned a few years later, I experienced a hammam spa, which is one of the best activities I’ve ever done.
