The Spa & Hammam Experience
The highlight for many is the traditional Moroccan hammam. Expect to be welcomed into a beautifully decorated, authentic setting that reflects Moroccan style. The bath uses natural ingredients like black soap and eucalyptus, which are staples in Moroccan skincare routines. These products are believed to cleanse and rejuvenate the skin deeply.
According to reviews, the hammam session lasts around 20 minutes, followed by a massage. While some guests found the treatment to be very relaxing, others noted that during Ramadan, the treatment could be a bit rushed or a bit less personalized. One reviewer even mentioned waiting 45 minutes for their turn due to a rescheduling, which can affect the overall experience if you’re expecting a longer or more leisurely session.
The Massage: A Touch of Moroccan Luxury
After the bath, the argan oil massage is the next step. It’s tailored to melt away tension, and many describe the masseuses as highly skilled, providing some of the best massages they’ve had. Be aware, however, that a few guests felt the massage duration was shorter than advertised, with some noting they only received about 25 minutes instead of 45.
The professionalism of staff shines through in reviews, with many praising the attentive service and friendly guides. The guides and drivers are also often highlighted as helpful, punctual, and making the experience feel special.
Dining at Restaurant Chouf L’Or
Transitioning from spa relaxation to a culinary adventure, the dinner at Chouf L’Or is widely appreciated. The restaurant itself is visually stunning, with an intimate, romantic atmosphere that makes it a perfect setting for couples or small groups celebrating a special night.
Guests can expect a menu featuring traditional Moroccan dishes such as fragrant tagines and flavorful couscous. Several reviews mention the high quality of the food, describing it as “yummy” and “delicious,” with some praising the starter, main course, and dessert for their taste and presentation.
One particularly touching detail is the restaurant’s surprise for wedding anniversary guests, where they received a heart-shaped cake and a rose, adding a personal touch that elevates the experience.

Transport & Logistics
Transportation is a key part of the experience. The tour includes pickup and drop-off from your accommodation or a designated meeting point, which helps streamline your evening. The professional drivers are often praised for their punctuality and helpfulness, with one reviewer highlighting their driver, Abdelha, as feeling like a VIP.
Timing-wise, the entire experience is structured to be around 4-5 hours, making it suitable for an evening activity rather than a full day. This allows you to enjoy the treatments and meal without feeling rushed.
Practical Tips & Considerations
While most guests find the tour to be excellent value, there are some points worth noting. Some reviewers mention that treatments can feel rushed, especially during Ramadan, due to scheduling constraints. If you prefer a more leisurely experience, it’s worth mentioning any special requests or checking the availability of full treatment durations when booking.
It’s also helpful to communicate any allergies or dietary preferences upfront. The tour includes free WiFi, which can be handy for sharing your experiences or checking directions afterward.
The tour costs $97 per person, which many consider reasonable given the combination of transport, treatments, and dinner. Still, it’s wise to compare this to other options if you’re seeking ultra-luxurious or longer treatments — this is more of a well-balanced, semi-luxury experience.
Authentic Experiences & Real Guest Insights
Many guests comment on the friendly, professional staff and the delicious food. For example, one reviewer states, “The food was so tasty, especially the steak — to die for!” Another appreciated the personal touches, such as being given a rose and a surprise cake for their wedding anniversary.
However, not all feedback is perfect. A guest noted that the hamam felt rushed, and the masseur was noisy, which affected their relaxation. Others felt that communication could be better during Ramadan, but overall, guests found the experience worth the price and appreciated the good service.
Who Is This Tour Best For?
