local hammams<\/strong> are bathhouses where the Marrakechi people clean and scrub themselves .<\/p>\n It is a lso a place where the locals clear their minds and socialize with their family members and friends too .<\/p>\n Yes , it is a good bonding experience ,indeed.<\/p>\n More than this , the tradional hammam is deeply rooted with Islam<\/a> religion , ablution .<\/p>\n Tradionally , thursdays and fridays are the buziest days within the week for muslims to purify themselves before the prayer.<\/p>\n Inside the old medina of Marrakech , every single neighbourhood has a\u00a0 Hammam near the mosque.<\/p>\n In Marrakech there are different types of Hammams which vary from affordable to luxurious ones.<\/p>\n The oldest Hammam in Morocco was the one in Volubulis<\/a> during the 8 century.<\/p>\n When Arabs reached North Africa<\/strong>\u00a0, the number of hammams in Morocco grew higher and higher ,<\/p>\n Like the Romans , Arabs equipped their Hammams with three to four<\/p>\n <\/p>\n long\u00a0 spacious rooms with different temperature.<\/p>\n The first room\u00a0 is very hot , helps to open the pores of your skin and speed up the circulation of blood .<\/p>\n The second room is warm , very useful for scrubbing and massage treatment.<\/p>\n The third room is used for relaxation and rehydration.<\/p>\n The Hammam s\u00a0 ceilings have small glass windows for the sake of light .<\/p>\n Besides, the Farnatchi plays a very important role for the hammam.<\/p>\n He\u00a0 is the person who heats the hammam with wood , sawdust\u00a0 and\u00a0 cooks\u00a0Tanjia<\/a> on slow fire.<\/p>\n Normally , people take off their clothes and leave them in the reception room .<\/p>\n While men bathe with their underwear , women bathe with bikini or totally naked.<\/p>\n After a quick rinse , your attendant will escort you the hottest room within the Hammam .<\/p>\n In a communal Hammam , friends and family members scrub each other , though.<\/p>\n If you are alone , you scrub yourself with the help of no one or hire a washer to do the job for you .<\/p>\n Afterwards , you will have your skin smeared with Savon noir<\/a> or black soap .<\/p>\n By the way, black Soap makes the skin soft and prepares it for exfoliation with a harsh glove (kess<\/strong>).<\/p>\n The hottest room has some wooden beds where you lie for some time to relax and then perfom the scrubbing .<\/p>\n Furthermore , the scrub should cover the whole body , every inch of it .<\/p>\n If the scrubbing is too much for you to stand , please use the moroccan dialect word bshwiya<\/strong> , which means slow down .<\/p>\n We have seperate washers : men wash men and women wash women .<\/p>\n For some people the whole experience looks weird and scary , given the fact everyone is naked in women section.<\/p>\n Therefore , leave yourself to your attendant who will scrub\u00a0 and massage you from head to toe .you will not regret it .<\/p>\n When the scubbing is over\u00a0 and\u00a0 layers of deadskin is washed , you will be escorted to the cold room for relaxation and rehydration .<\/p>\n If you want your body cleaned and your mind cleared , go to a traditional hammam in Marrakech.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Instead of going to coffe shops , some locals go to the hammam to talk : men talk about women and women about men .<\/p>\n Tradionally , when males reach the age of puberty , they don t go with their mothers anymore to the hammam .<\/p>\n In other words , young men go with their elders ,as sign of adulthood.<\/p>\n The hammam is also a spot where brides bathe with their friends before the wedding celebration.<\/p>\n It is also an opportunity for the bride to know about her new family and get used them .<\/p>\n The hammam is also a place where\u00a0 grooms may take advices and tips from the already- married friends.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The top product<\/strong> that women use inside Moroccan traditional hammams is Rhassoul or Ghasoul<\/strong> .<\/p>\n For centuries , Women use this clay product for their hair , skin and body ,all the time, inside hammams .<\/p>\n Actually , the history of the Ghasoul dates back to thousands years and it is still useful til today .<\/p>\n The Ghassoul is extracted from the mines of Morocco in the middle Atlas Mountains<\/strong> in Moulouya valley , near fez.<\/strong><\/p>\n A lot of researchs have showed that Ghassoul contains so many minerals like : iron,calcium ,silica,potasium oxide and provitamins .<\/p>\n Because of these menirals it makes the skin well sustained and anti -aging .<\/p>\n In other words the Ghassoul works miracles :<\/p>\n To conclude , when you make a trip to Marrakech Hammams make sure you have the golden clay<\/strong> in advance.<\/p>\n If you
