Review of Marrakech’s MRC hammam and argan oil massage, with steam, scrub, 40-minute massage, price, meeting point, and honest tips.
“The hamam wasn't what I was expecting. it was one person working on three of us at the same time. Usually it's one staff per client so the experience is seamless. I was waiting for the next part each time while the lady worked on my friends. The staff were very friendly and welcoming though which is always nice. The scrub was hard! It was like being ribbed with sandpaper. But my skim felt so new adfer that 😀 The massage was lovely. Not too hard or too soft. So relaxing.”

Review of Marrakech hammam, argan oil massage, and Berber carpet workshop, with practical tips, value advice, and what to expect.
“We paid 325 MAD very last minute and were very hesitant due to only one review and this was definitely worth the money. The trip definitely goes on for longer than 5 hours we were back at around 11 instead of 9 due to the fire show and a late dinner but this was okay with us. If you have to get on your quad bike with one other person consider that there is a stop about 1/3 of the way to take pictures and swap drivers. For dinner we had soup, bread, salad, tajine and a fruit bowl. Overall could be better organised but great value for money nevertheless.”
