The Salt Ceremony

That ofHammam is a practice that has its roots in the ancient Greek Roman world, where purifying rites were helpful in facing life with new strength.

In Middle Eastern culture,Hammam is also a place of recollection amid steams, ablutions and massages.

At Asmana, the Salt Ceremony is a purification and relaxation ritual that takes place in the Purifying Bath. The "Master of Ceremony," through the rhythmic movements of a towel, directs hot steam in the direction of the guests and offers Mediterranean salt enriched with cocoa or herbs for a rejuvenating full-body peeling.

This ceremony is a time to let the steam envelop you and give your body a moment of purification and relax.
