8 Best Hammams in Casablanca

The most atmospheric hammam in Casablanca — tucked inside the old medina near the clock tower, this traditional bathhouse serves the neighborhood that surrounds Morocco's largest and most cosmopolitan city's historic core. The old medina of Casablanca is small compared to Marrakech or Fes, but it's genuine: working markets, residential quarters, and this hammam that has served the community for over a century. Entry: 15 MAD. Kessala scrub: 50–80 MAD. The building has thick stone walls, traditional domed ceilings, and three rooms with proper temperature progression. The steam room is compact and hot. The clientele is old medina residents — shopkeepers, craftsmen, families who have lived here for generations. The atmosphere is quietly authentic: Casablanca's old medina is less visited than its imperial-city counterparts, making this one of the most genuinely local hammam experiences in Morocco. Bring supplies or buy at the door. The old medina is a 10-minute walk from the Hassan II Mosque — combine a mosque visit with a hammam for a perfect half-day.

A well-maintained public hammam in the Habous quarter — Casablanca's "new medina" built by the French in the 1930s in a charming neo-Moorish style. The Habous hammam benefits from the quarter's planned design: wider rooms, better drainage, and more light than genuine medieval hammams, while maintaining traditional function. Entry: 15 MAD. Kessala scrub: 50–80 MAD. The three-room layout is classic, with good temperature regulation. The Habous quarter is one of Casablanca's most pleasant neighborhoods — arcaded streets, bakeries, craft shops, and the Royal Palace nearby. The hammam clientele is neighborhood families and workers from the surrounding shops. The atmosphere is orderly and well-managed — reflecting the Habous quarter's generally clean, organized character. Bring supplies or buy at the bakery-shops nearby (savon beldi is widely available in the quarter). The Habous is easy to reach by taxi or tram and offers a gentle introduction to traditional Moroccan quarters.

A modern public hammam in the Maarif district — Casablanca's trendy shopping and dining neighborhood. This hammam represents the contemporary evolution of Moroccan hammam culture: modern tiling, good plumbing, clean facilities, and professional kessalas, while maintaining the traditional three-room ritual. Entry: 20 MAD. Kessala scrub: 60–100 MAD. The clientele is young, middle-class Casablanca: professionals, students, and families from the surrounding apartments. The atmosphere is less historic than the old medina but more comfortable. The Maarif district is one of Casablanca's most vibrant neighborhoods — boutiques, cafés, restaurants, and the Twin Center shopping mall are nearby. The hammam is a neighborhood institution that serves the weekly bathing needs of hundreds of local families. Supplies available at the numerous pharmacies on Boulevard Bir Anzarane. A good option for visitors staying in central Casablanca who want a hammam experience without venturing to the old medina.

A genuine working-class hammam in the Derb Omar wholesale district — Casablanca's most authentic and least touristic hammam experience. Derb Omar is the city's commercial heart: massive wholesale markets, textile warehouses, and the energy of millions of dirhams of commerce flowing daily. The hammam serves the merchants, porters, and workers who keep this district running. Entry: 15 MAD. Kessala scrub: 50–70 MAD. The hammam is functional: basic facilities, proper heat, experienced kessalas, no frills. The clientele is entirely local — you will likely be the only foreigner. The atmosphere is purposeful: men and women come to get clean after a long day of physical work. The scrub is vigorous — these kessalas work on bodies that need serious cleaning. Bring all supplies. The district is fascinating to walk through: the scale of the wholesale markets, the chaos of delivery trucks and handcarts, and the energy of commercial Casablanca at full throttle. Not for the faint-hearted — but deeply authentic.
