Turkish Bath

A Turkish bath, or hammam, is a traditional steam bath originating from the Middle East and popular in Turkish culture. It involves a series of heated rooms with high humidity, typically starting in a warm room to prepare the body, followed by a hot room where intense steam helps cleanse the skin. Patrons often receive a scrub and massage, aimed at relaxation and rejuvenation. The experience fosters social interaction and is rooted in centuries of customs surrounding cleanliness, health, and community. The process is both a physical and cultural ritual, promoting wellness and a sense of tranquility.
