With the old soap factory around the corner, Saida used to be full of hammams, of which only a few remain. These public baths, reminiscent of Roman thermal baths, were used for hygiene and served for pleasure and as a social place. If you feel like treating yourself on hot steam, scrubbing and relaxation for a few hours, the Hammam el-Sheikh with its beautiful and ornamental tiles and baths, or the 18th-century Mediterranean style Al Ward Hammam are both worth a try.
