Hamam

In Chechouan, known for it's blue color, I went to a Hamam, a traditional bathing house.

There was no being shy or modest.

We started off in a steamy sauna like area and stripped down to just underwear (it was all women). After steaming, we were ushered into another room where we were drenched with buckets of water, soaped up and scrubbed down.

I don't know if I even felt awkward or not.

A massage followed and after a week of not showering, it was the cleanest I ever felt!
