The Turkish bath, also known as hamam or hammam, is one of the ancient world's most widely exported customs.

What happens in a Hamam?" 

Well, the ritual is simple. You will find yourself in a room filled with the sound of splashing water, the scent of soap, and wafting steam through. In the gentle moist heat your body relaxes, and your nerves are soothed. You sit down at one of the marble wash basins which line the walls, and adjusting the temperature of the water to a delicious warmth, dip the copper bathing bowl into the basin and tip the water over your head and body. Waves of relaxation seem to pour right through you as the water envelops your body.

Laying on the warm stone in the center of the room, your attendant (tellak for men and natir for women) will pour hot water on you and begin to scrub every square inch of your body. Basically, every millimeter of dead and dirty skin is scrubbed off, even the skin between your fingers and toes.

Afterwards you are lathered with liquid soap and shampoo and given the choice of massage options. After the massage, the attendant will wash you from head to toe again as if you are a small child. One last shower and then it is time to leave.

Then you are given fresh towels and again brought to the cool room to rest, dry off and marvel at your glowing, soft as a baby’s skin.
