Can I make a reservation without booking a treatment?
It is not possible to place an order without choosing a treatment.
Can I make a reservation for one guest only?
Reservations for one guest can be made based on same day availability.

If you wish to make a reservation for one guest, you are welcome to contact us and ask to include your name on a waiting list for the desired day. We will be sure to update you if there is availability on the requested day. We are likely to contact you a day before the desired reservation day, or even on the same day. Therefore, this option is suitable for guests who are already in Akko (Acre), and those who can arrive at the hammam on a fairly short notice.
Is there an age restriction?
- Entry to the hammam is for persons 18 years of age and older. Any guests under 18 years of age require adult supervision and consent to receive treatments.
Do you have male and female massage therapists?
By default and except in special circumstances, treatments are performed by a male and a female massage therapist for each reservation.

We made a reservation and wanted to know what to expect at the hammam. Can you tell us a little?
- It is recommended to arrive about 15 minutes before your reservation time.
- Upon entering the lobby you will be welcomed by the reception staff, asked to have a seat, and offered cold water and Tamarind juice.
- Since the cellular reception in the Old City is limited, we will be happy to give you the WiFi password.
- You will be presented with a health declaration form to fill out, and depending on your answers, you may be asked additional questions for the purpose of adapting your treatment and stay in the hammam to your health condition.
- At this stage you will be invited to enter the hammam, and you will be asked to go to the changing room to change clothes (to your swimwear/swimsuit).
- In the changing room you will also find personal towels. The towels should be left in the changing room to be used after you shower, at the end of your stay.
- When you exit the changing room, the massage therapists will be waiting for you, and will ask you to sit next to the sinks on the lower level, in order to wash your body with water splashes from traditional bathing bowls.
- You will then be asked to enter the wet sauna for about five minutes.
- The wet sauna steam fills the skin pores with moist heat and expands them, thus greatly helping to cleanse the skin and remove dead skin cells during the scrub and massage.
- When you leave the wet sauna, you will be asked to go up to the upper level to start the treatment.
- The massage therapists will help you to lie on the warm marble beds comfortably, and place personal cloth sheets on the marble bed and pillows under your neck and knees, to make it comfortable for your on the marble bed. The first part of the treatment begins when you are lying on your stomach.
- At this stage, the treatment begins, during which your body will be covered in clouds of natural olive-oil soap foam, using a traditional lathering technique, followed by a skin scrub with a natural loofah, and a massage (according to your
chosen treatment). During the treatment, the foam clouds are washed with splashes of hot and cold water.
- In the second part of the treatment you will be asked to "turn over" and lie on your back. The treatment continues similar to the first part, with foaming, scrubbing and massage, and ends with a massage to the neck and scalp.
At the end of the treatment, the massage therapists will assist you in sitting on the treatment bed for a minute, then get off it safely, and will accompany you to the Jacuzzi.
- After entering the Jacuzzi you will be served cold water and Tamarind juice for refreshment, and will also be reminded to enjoy the dry sauna and the hot marble slab, located in the center of the lower level. For your convenience, the massage therapists will also spread your personal cloth sheets on the hot slab. When you reach the stage where you want to enjoy the slab, the sheets will already be warm and pleasant to the touch.
- While you enjoy the Jacuzzi, the massage therapists will leave the compound, and the entire hammam will continue to be yours privately until the end of your reservation (the two hours).
- Towards the end of the reservation, you can enter the changing room to take a shower and change clothes.
- When you leave the changing room, remember to check the compartments so as not to forget clothes and personal belongings.
When you return to the lobby, a seating area with refreshments that includes fruit and cookies awaits you, and we will offer you hot and cold drinks.
