'The traditional hammam is a must when travelling to Morocco – and our signature experience at the Royal Mansour is truly a life- and body-transforming experience. You purify by removing all of the dead skin and sweating out toxins in the heated room. Traditional black soap is the basis of every hammam journey and helps to detox and slough away roughness.'
