Persian Hamam
Public bathhouses have long been a cherished tradition in Iran. However, with the passage of time and changing lifestyles, this tradition has gradually faded. While some bathhouses are still in use today, many have been repurposed into museums or tea houses. While exploring Isfahan’s historical attractions, be sure to visit the Qazi Bath, a traditional Iranian Hammam dating back 300 years. Conveniently located in the heart of the city, just steps away from Isfahan’s most popular sites, this hammam has been recently renovated with modern mechanical equipment, an updated sewage system, and advanced water disinfection.
Upon entering the hammam, you’ll find a welcoming reception area offering hot and cold drinks. The staff will guide you to the Sarbine area where you can change your clothes.
Your hammam journey begins as you step into the Garmkhane (hot room). Pour water over your body to get wet, and after 10 to 15 minutes of enjoying the heat and moisture, your skin will be softened and ready for exfoliation. Your personal Dallak (a traditional Persian masseuse) will then use a new loofah to scrub off the dead skin cells. Relax and let the Dallak take care of you. If the massage feels too intense, don’t hesitate to ask them to be gentler, as it can be a bit painful the first time.
After a long day, nothing can be more relaxing than having a bath at a traditional Iranian Bath!
