Hi,

I’m planning to visit a Moroccan hammam in Marrakech soon, and I’m curious about the dress code. Do you wear clothes in a Moroccan hammam?

Regards,

Quick answer

In a Moroccan hammam, people commonly wear underwear, swimwear or disposable underwear, depending on the hammam. Bring a towel, flip-flops and toiletries, and follow the local rules of the establishment.

Do you wear clothes in a Moroccan hammam?

Hello! Thanks for asking. In Moroccan hammams, it’s typical to wear minimal clothing like a modesty towel or swimsuit for modesty and respect. However, customs can vary, so it’s best to check with the staff of the hammam.

I’m a regular at a traditional hammam, and my go-to attire is a swimsuit. Since I’m familiar with the staff, I always bring clean clothes to wear after the bath and a small shower bag. Women’s attire is similar, and there’s typically a separate hammam for women and men. For women, there’s no strict requirement for a bra, but it’s a personal choice.

Do you wear clothes in a Moroccan hammam?

In certain situations, women may choose to go completely nude, often by observing if others are also shedding their clothes. However, it’s generally expected for men to always keep their bathing suits on. If you lean towards more coverage, a two-piece swimsuit or bikini often fits the bill.
