Steam rises against cool tile and the distant Red Sea sun dares you to relax harder than the day demands. Inside a compact blue-stone hammam in Sharm el Sheikh, the air is warm, scented faintly of eucalyptus, and the routine moves with practiced rhythm: 10–15 minutes in a dry sauna, a deep kese (exfoliating scrub) with local Red Sea salt, a nourishing face-and-body mask, and a final 15-minute foam massage that rinses the grit of travel from skin and shoulders.

Hydrate beforehand
Drink water before and after — heat and exfoliation can dehydrate you quickly.
Avoid fresh sunburn
If you have a recent or severe sunburn, postpone the scrub and sauna as it can irritate skin.
Remove jewelry and heavy creams
Take off rings and rinse off sunscreen or oils so scrubs and masks work properly.
Communicate medical issues
Tell staff about heart conditions, pregnancy, or skin sensitivities before booking.
Swimsuit
Wear under a robe for modesty and to keep skin covered while moving to/from the hammam.
Light, loose clothing
Breathable clothes help cool you down after heat and scrubbing.
