1. The steam room
10 to 15 minutes in warm steam that gently raises body temperature, opens the pores and begins relaxing the muscles before they are touched.

Turkish Bath in Sheikh Zayed & 6th of October
Warm steam, heated marble and thick foam — the classic Ottoman hammam experience with modern hygiene standards.
A classic Ottoman experience
Heat, foam, then clarity
A Turkish bath is not simply a steam room. It is a measured sequence of heat, humidity and texture: you begin with a quiet sit that raises your body temperature gradually, then lie on warm marble while thick, soft foam covers you, and it all ends with a refreshing rinse that returns the body to its normal temperature.
That experience is now available to residents of Sheikh Zayed and 6th of October City without a trip into central Cairo, in a calm and comfortable atmosphere that makes the session worth its time.
Session stages
What happens during a Turkish bath?
Three consecutive stages, each building on the last.
2. Foam on marble
Thick foam produced with a special cloth is spread across the body with circular massage that cleanses the surface and creates a uniquely weightless feeling.
3. Rinse & cool down
A graduated-temperature rinse closes the pores and stimulates circulation, followed by a short rest with a warm drink.
The benefits
Why guests keep coming back
Practical reasons the Turkish bath is one of our most booked evening services.
Cleaner pores
Humid steam opens the pores and makes it easier for the skin to shed the dust and pollution it collects daily.
Relaxed muscles
Sustained heat lowers muscle fibre tension, making them far more responsive to any massage that follows.
Stimulated circulation
Alternating heat and cooler water acts as gentle exercise for the blood vessels and leaves a lasting feeling of freshness.
Short and effective
Under an hour is enough to make a clear difference — ideal when you do not have a long window in a working day.
After the session
Do not rush straight out
The single most useful tip we give guests: give your body ten minutes in the relaxation area afterwards. Moving abruptly from hammam heat into outside air reduces the benefit and can cause mild dizziness.
- Drink water or herbal tea to replace fluids
- Wear loose cotton clothing afterwards
- Postpone intense exercise for a few hours
- Moisturise about an hour after the session ends
FAQ
Turkish bath questions, answered
Everything worth knowing before your first session.
What are the benefits of a Turkish bath?
Warm steam opens the pores and helps clear impurities, relaxes tight muscles and stimulates circulation. Many guests also find it eases sinus congestion and improves sleep the same night.
How long is a Turkish bath session?
A typical session runs 45 to 60 minutes: around 15 minutes of steam, then the foam massage on marble, then rinsing, gradual cooling and a warm drink.
Is a Turkish bath safe if I have high blood pressure?
High heat can raise your heart rate, so we advise anyone with uncontrolled blood pressure or a heart condition to check with their doctor first. Either way, tell us when booking so we can adjust the steam duration and temperature.
Can a Turkish bath replace a Moroccan bath?
No — each has a different purpose. The Turkish bath focuses on steam, relaxation and surface cleansing with foam, while the Moroccan bath focuses on deep exfoliation with the mitt. If you want both, book a package that combines them in one visit.
Is a men's Turkish bath available?
Yes. The service is available for men as a full session in a dedicated area, with specialised therapists and a calm, comfortable atmosphere. Specify it when booking so we can allocate the right time slot.
Is there a Turkish bath near me in Sheikh Zayed or 6th of October?
Yes. We are the closest Turkish bath for residents of both areas, and we do not operate anywhere outside them. Drive time from most districts is 5 to 12 minutes — see the two area pages for the breakdown.
What should I bring with me?
Nothing at all — towels, slippers and bath essentials are provided. If you prefer a particular product for your skin, bring it and we will use it.
