​
HAMMAM SPA ($75 USD)
Sunday 3-5 pm
The hammam, also known as the Turkish hamam or Turkish bath, is the Middle Eastern variant of a steam bath, which can be categorized as a wet relative of the sauna.
​
Although the first hammams originated in Arabia, and bath culture was a central part of Roman life, Turkey popularized the tradition (and is most often associated with it) by making hammams available to people of all statuses.
​
What is it Like?
​
The hammam ritual is rather simple, but it does involve several steps – all aimed at cleansing and relaxing – which many modern-day hammams still utilize.
Typically, the treatment lasted a set period of time, but visitors were free to lounge in the cooling areas for as long as they liked.
Relax and Prepare
As you enter the camekan, or entrance room, there are areas for changing and a place to have a cup of tea or a cold drink before or after the bath.
Adjust to the Warmth
Before you encounter water, the tellak (staff member) will bring you to a transition area, the iliklik, or intermediate room, where you receive your towels and adjust to the heat.
​
Full Body Scrub and Soaking
From there you enter the hararet, or hot room, which houses the large marble belly or navel stone. Bathers, arranged on marble slabs around the fountain, alternate basking in the high humidity and being vigorously–and thoroughly–scrubbed by an attendant. Following the scrubbing, there is application of special soap (including shampoo, if requested).
CAMEL RIDING ($45 USD)
​
Once we get out into the city, you'll have the opportunity to take a camel ride! We'll go out for about an hour, where our guides will take us on a relaxing caravan through the stone dessert.
MINI SHOOT WITH ANNA
​
30 MINUTE MINI SHOOT ($150)
​
Book a mini shoot with our photographer Anna Meyer. You'll have access to hundreds of photos through out the week, but if you're interested in being in the spot light, book a sesh! Women on our trips value this opportunity to get photographs with loved ones, build content for their work, and to feel seen and special. While on the trip, you'll meet with Anna to discuss where you'd like to shoot and what your vision is.

WHERE WE'RE STAYING
​
Riad Yasmine is an 8 bedroom private boutique hotel situated in the middle of the Medina of Marrakech. Let yourself be guided by the cool air corridor leading you to the traditional patio. You will be enveloped by its bright and quiet atmosphere where only the chirping of birds comes to disturb the silence.

When we're out in the desert we'll be staying at Terre Des Etoiles- an the first sustainable eco camp in the Agafey desert. The five hectares of moon-like land have been patiently and sustainably transformed. Today you’ll find camels, horses, a restaurant and two swimming pools.
Soon there’ll be a hammam and a space for well-being, everyday Terre des Étoiles is expanding whilst closely adhering to the concept of eco-tourism which goes hand in hand with the heart, intelligence and harmony of the human soul and nature. Find the eco camp on Instagram.
