Hammam Ziani is a traditional Moroccan bathhouse on Rue Abou Rakrak in central Casablanca, a short walk from the Benjdia market. It runs the full sequence a Moroccan hammam is built around: steam room, black soap, a gommage scrub with the kessa glove, ghassoul clay and a massage. There are separate sections for men and for women and children, and a beauty centre alongside for hair and skin.
Perché prenotare
Hammam Ziani in Casablanca is a working traditional hammam on Rue Abou Rakrak in the Benjdia quarter, not a hotel spa built for visitors.
The wet rooms are lined with zellij tilework and marble basins, and the steam room has the tiered stone benches of a proper Moroccan bath.
There are separate sections for men and for women and children, which is the normal arrangement in a Moroccan hammam.
The house also runs a hammam in Marrakech, so the routine and the products are the same in both cities.
Trattamenti
Entry plus gommage, the scrub with a kessa glove that is the core of a Moroccan hammam.
Scented savonnage with black soap.
Relaxing massage with essential oils, offered as 30 minutes or a full hour.
Body wraps with seaweed or chocolate, and a seaweed wrap made specifically for the back.
The Hammam Heritage package, which strings the steam, scrub, wrap and massage together.
Orari di apertura
Open from 9.30am to 7pm.
The men's section and the women's and children's section both run seven days a week.
Late afternoon is the busiest stretch, so an early slot is calmer.
Periodo migliore
A hammam is a Friday and weekend habit for Casablanca families, so weekday mornings are the quietest.
Book the gommage before a long flight or after a few days of walking the city.
Winter is the classic season for it locally, though the steam room works just as well in summer.
Come combinare
The hammam is in the Benjdia quarter of central Casablanca, walking distance from the Marche Central and the art deco streets.
The Hassan II Mosque is about 2.5 km north, so a morning at the mosque and an afternoon at the hammam works well.
A beauty centre on the same premises handles hair and skin if you want to make a longer visit of it.

At Hammam Ziani the treatment packages cover the products and the attendant, so you mainly need swimwear or underwear you are happy to get wet, plus a change of clothes. Moroccan hammams are not nude: people keep their lower half covered.
