Moroccan Bath Package Massage, Jacuzzi, Sauna, Mask in Hurghada
Book on Viator →Operated by OMARIKA TOURS · Bookable on Viator
A hammam reset for a bargain price. This 3-hour Moroccan bath package stacks the big comfort hits—steam room, Moroccan-style exfoliation and foam massage, then Jacuzzi time plus sauna/steam—to help you feel clean and calm without spending luxury-spa money.
I especially like that you’re not just getting a single treatment. You also get a 45-minute full-body massage plus Moroccan face mask and Moroccan clay for the body, all with towel and guide help. The main drawback to keep in mind is that, at this price point, the experience can feel more “budget spa” than “high-end hammam,” and a small number of people felt the scrub routine didn’t match their expectations—so it’s worth asking what you’ll receive before things start.

Key Highlights You’ll Care About

- Steam room first, so the skin is ready for exfoliation and massage afterward
- Moroccan scrub and foam massage aim to lift dead skin and ease tension
- Sauna + Jacuzzi in the same circuit for dry heat and then cooling comfort
- Face mask and body clay add that “glow” finishing touch
- 45-minute full-body massage is the real payoff for sore muscles
- Small group size (up to 15) helps keep things from feeling chaotic
The Moroccan Bath Flow in Hurghada (What 3 Hours Feels Like)

This is set up like a full-body circuit. You’ll start with heat therapy to loosen everything up, then move into exfoliation and body treatment, and finally finish with relaxing warm-down time plus a longer massage.
Most sessions follow this kind of order:
1) Warm steam room to open pores and soften the skin
2) Moroccan exfoliation with a glove-style scrub, followed by a foam massage
3) A rinse and a short reset period in the relaxation area
4) Time for sauna and steam bath
5) Moroccan face mask and Moroccan clay for the body
6) Jacuzzi time
7) A full-body massage for 45 minutes
Why this matters: the heat and exfoliation aren’t random. Steam first makes the scrub more comfortable, and the sauna/Jacuzzi combo gives you that contrast (hot to warm to cooler water) that helps your body unclench.

Steam Room, Sauna, and Steam Bath: Why the Heat Stops the Clock

Steam does something practical: it softens skin and makes exfoliation less harsh. That’s why this package opens with a steam room instead of starting with scrub immediately. You’ll usually feel smoother and less “stiff” after the heat, even before the massage starts.
Then you’ll get sauna time. Sauna heat is different from steam—think dry heat, not wet. That can help you feel refreshed and ready for the final steps, especially before you transition into Jacuzzi relaxation.
A small detail that can affect your comfort: since the circuit includes both steam and sauna, bring a swimsuit/cover-up that’s easy to change in and out of. And plan on taking it slow once you’re done—heat sessions can make you feel extra sensitive to dehydration in a way a normal spa stop doesn’t.
Moroccan Scrub, Foam Massage, and the Clay/Mask Finisher
This is the heart of the “Moroccan bath” idea. You’ll do a scrub using a glove, then follow with a foam massage that keeps the treatment feeling gentle rather than like a harsh wash.
Two things from the experience that you should treat as your main expectations:
- You’ll get that traditional-feeling scrub and foam stage as part of the program
- You’ll finish with Moroccan clay for the body and a Moroccan face mask, which are meant to leave skin feeling cleaner and smoother
Now, the honest consideration: a minority of people felt the scrub stage didn’t feel like what they expected from a classic Moroccan hammam (including comments about timing and the scrub method). If you’re picky about exfoliation, ask a simple question when you arrive: Will there be a glove scrub step, and how long will the product stay on before rinsing?
Also note this practical point from the operator’s explanation in responses to negative feedback: oils or therapeutic products may be left on the skin for a short period before you rinse. That’s normal in these routines, but it can feel odd if you expect to rinse immediately.
Jacuzzi and the Relaxation Area: Where You Actually Unwind

After the scrub and body treatment, you’re not rushed straight into the next step. You’ll have time in the relaxation area before (or alongside) sauna/steam and Jacuzzi.
The Jacuzzi matters for two reasons:
- it helps you cool off after heat sessions
- it gives your muscles an immediate “reset” sensation before the longer massage
In real life, this is where the experience stops being “a series of appointments” and becomes a break. Use the time to lie down, breathe, and let your body feel the difference. You’ll get more from the final 45-minute massage if you don’t treat the circuit like a checklist.
The 45-Minute Full-Body Massage: How to Make It Worth It

This package doesn’t hide the ball. You’re paying for—and getting—a 45-minute full-body massage as part of the deal.
What makes the massage stage especially important for value: if you skip the heat and exfoliation parts, you still walk away with a long, included massage. That’s a lot for $12.
One practical tip from the experience feedback: some people recommend tipping the masseur if you feel the service was great. If tipping fits your style, it’s a simple way to show appreciation—especially since the staff often handles the whole routine, not just the massage.
If you want the massage to feel more personal, tell your guide right at the start where your tight spots are (shoulders, back, legs, etc.). Even if the massage is standardized, your comfort improves when they know what to prioritize.
Staff, Cleanliness, and the Names You Might Hear

Service quality is a huge part of whether a spa day feels relaxing or stressful. In the feedback you shared, the consistent praise is about friendly, kind staff and smooth help from start to finish.
Some names that came up clearly include:
- Salina and Mustafa (praised for making the experience fun and well-run)
- Habiba (praised for gentle, attentive massage work)
- Nagwa and Amera (praised for great massage and caring service)
You can’t assume everyone will be those exact staff members, but it’s a good sign that the operation has people who communicate, help you move safely, and keep the pace comfortable.
Cleanliness also showed up in the positive comments, with people specifically saying the spa was clean. For you, that means: bring your own flip-flops or slippers to move around, and don’t skip using the towels provided.
Price and Real Cost: What $12 Buys You (and When It Changes)

The base price is $12 per person for about 3 hours, and it includes pickup/drop-off, towel help, sauna/steam bath access, Jacuzzi, Moroccan face mask, Moroccan clay for the body, and a 45-minute full-body massage.
That’s a strong value formula. At this price, the package is built for people who want a real massage plus bath-style treatments, not just a quick scrub and a pat on the back.
However, two added-cost factors are spelled out:
- Some hotel areas have an extra transfer fee: $5 per person from Makadi and Sahl Hasheesh
- Other areas add $10 per person: Safaga, El Gouna, Soma Bay
- There’s also government fees of $5 per person
So your real total depends on your pickup area. If you’re in one of the extra-transfer zones, plan on paying:
- $12 + $5 transfer + $5 government = $22 (Makadi/Sahl Hasheesh)
- $12 + $10 transfer + $5 government = $27 (Safaga/El Gouna/Soma Bay)
Is it still good value? Usually yes—because even with those added fees, you still get the full bath circuit plus the 45-minute massage.
Pickup, Timing, and Mobile Tickets: The Little Things That Matter

You’ll have hotel pickup and drop-off, and you’ll get a mobile ticket. That helps reduce confusion on the day.
One caution from the feedback: one person reported that their confirmed time was changed shortly before they were picked up. Even if that’s not the norm, it’s smart to protect your schedule.
Here’s how you do that:
- keep your phone charged
- be ready shortly before the scheduled pickup time
- if you can, confirm your pickup window the day before
Also, this is a small group experience with a maximum of 15 travelers. Smaller groups are often easier for staff to manage—especially when everyone needs bathroom breaks, changing time, and towel support.
Who This Moroccan Bath Package Suits Best
This works well for:
- couples who want a shared spa experience without planning a complicated day
- solo travelers who like structured relaxation with included treatments
- people who want both heat therapy and a real massage, not just one or the other
- families where the spa experience is clearly understood (one positive note mentioned a 10-year-old enjoying the experience)
It may not be the best fit if you want a “boutique luxury hammam” feel where everything is ultra-custom and slow. Also, if your priority is a very specific kind of Moroccan scrub technique and timing, come in prepared to ask what the scrub step includes.
Should You Book This Moroccan Bath Package in Hurghada?
If your goal is simple—steam, scrub, foam, masks, Jacuzzi, and a real 45-minute massage—this is an easy yes at the price. The best feedback points to friendly staff, good service flow, and strong value for money. With small group size and pickup/drop-off, it’s also built for convenience.
I’d book it if:
- you want a full circuit (heat + exfoliation + massage)
- you’re okay with a budget-friendly spa setting
- you appreciate clear included value rather than paying for “luxury branding”
I’d hesitate if:
- you’re extremely picky about how the scrub is performed
- you want a guarantee that every step will match your personal definition of Moroccan hammam perfection
- you’re the type who gets stressed by any schedule changes
If you do book, make one small move that protects your experience: ask at the start what the scrub step involves and when you’ll rinse. Then relax, let the heat do its job, and use the Jacuzzi and massage as the finish line.
