If you want to experience a local hammam try the Bab Doukkala hammam next to the mosque. It is 16th century and has a stunning wood carved ceiling in the changing area and a magnificent domed and arcaded warm room. Men mornings and late evening, women afternoon. Locals only too willing to help you if you dont know the ropes, and you can get a gommage (exfoliation which feels like you are being rubbed with sandpaper). Guys wear trunks and modesty is the order of the day. They say not so for women. A memorable surrounding and experience.

Get a petit taxi to the Bab Doukkala mosque, or walk

Marrakech is a wonderful city but mad and you'll want to wind down and there's no better place than here. Have a hammam and then follow it up with a massage all for under £30! Such beautiful relaxing surroundings. I didn't want to leave.

5 minute walk from main square, ask hotel to book it for you.

Les Bains de Marrakech is really a tourist hammam but means that couples can go together and have a private room - I came out floating!
