Sharm El Sheikh may be famous for its turquoise waters and coral reefs, but tucked away from the sunlit beaches lies an entirely different kind of indulgence — the Turkish Bath in Sharm El Sheikh , or “Hamam”. Step inside, and you’re not just entering a spa — you’re stepping into a centuries-old ritual of purification, healing, and pure sensory pleasure.
This isn’t about a quick massage or a fleeting beauty treatment. The Hamam is a journey — one that blends heat, steam, water, and expert hands to strip away fatigue, awaken your senses, and leave you feeling lighter in body and spirit.
The Turkish Bath has its roots deep in Ottoman culture, where it was more than a place to cleanse the skin — it was a hub for social gatherings, celebrations, and even business meetings. The philosophy behind it is simple yet profound: purify the body to free the mind.
Inside a Hamam, you’re embraced by the four elements — water, fire, earth, and air — in perfect harmony. The warmth seeps into your muscles, steam wraps around you like a blanket, and the rhythmic motion of cleansing becomes almost meditative.
Sharm El Sheikh’s Hamams combine the authentic charm of the Middle East with a touch of Egyptian hospitality. Unlike the scorching heat of a Finnish sauna, the temperature here stays between 50–60°C, making it soothing and accessible even for first-timers or those sensitive to high heat.
Regular Hamam sessions are known to:
Boost blood circulation and energize the body.
Improve skin health by removing dead cells and deep-cleansing pores.
Support respiratory wellness with its humid, warm environment.
Relieve muscle tension and promote deep relaxation.
Help in the fight against cellulite when combined with gentle scrubbing techniques.
It’s no surprise that many travelers schedule a Hamam visit on their first day in Sharm — it clears away travel fatigue and leaves you ready to enjoy your holiday with renewed energy.
Walking into the Hamam feels like entering another world. The air is warm and aromatic, the walls glisten with steam, and soft lighting creates an intimate atmosphere. Here’s how a typical session unfolds:
You start in a mild sauna, letting the gentle heat prepare your skin and relax your muscles. This is where the stress of the outside world begins to melt away.
The moist heat fills your lungs with warmth, opening your pores and preparing your body for deep cleansing. You’ll feel a wave of calm as your breathing slows and your mind quiets.
A skilled attendant works up a rich lather of olive-based soap, coating your skin in silky foam before exfoliating with a traditional kese mitt. This isn’t just cleansing — it’s a full rejuvenation for your skin.
Depending on your chosen program, you may enjoy a short foam massage or an extended full-body session, followed by a nourishing face mask. Moroccan Hamam packages add exotic scrubs — coffee, chocolate, or coconut — and the famous Moroccan clay wrap for silky smooth skin.
You finish with a warm rinse, a cozy wrap in a soft towel, and a calming hot drink — often mint tea — that leaves you centered and deeply relaxed.
The beauty of the Hamam is that it can be tailored to your needs, whether you want a quick cleanse or a full spa immersion.

Whether you’re here for wellness, beauty, or pure indulgence, the Hamam offers a sanctuary where ancient tradition meets modern comfort.
And when you step back into the bright Egyptian sun afterward, skin glowing and mind at ease, you’ll understand why this ritual has endured for centuries — and why it remains one of the most memorable experiences in Sharm El Sheikh
