Moroccan hammam experience was interesting and mostly enjoyable. First I sweated in a steam room for 5 minutes in my bikini, then I was led to another small room and asked to take off my bikini top and lie down on a warm marble slab. I can only speak a tiny bit of French and the therapist spoke no English, so I think I was doing what she wanted! She rinsed me down with cool water using a handheld shower. Then she rubbed some kind of cleanser on me and showered me again. Next she scrubbed me from foot to face (including boobs) with a sort of exfoliating mitt, this was borderline painful but it was most gratifying when she showed me the rolls of dead skin that came off. Then another rinse, then I was rubbed all over with some kind of mud and left for ten minutes before being rinsed again. I don’t think, on balance, that I like being showered in the face. Then she washed my hair and took me to a relaxation lounge and gave me mint tea. I have never felt so thoroughly clean in my life #Morocco #Holiday #Holiday2023 #hammam

These 19th cent Turkish wooden bath clogs were worn by women to avoid slipping on the floor of the hammam, or bath house, used by Muslims to bathe before Friday prayers. Their Arabic name, #qabqab, derives from the clacking #noise they made on the marble floors.
You can see this pair of Qabqabs in the Islamic gallery of the British Museum in London.

@oligneisti Well it clearly doesn't accept parentheses in a tag. Last try—with a hyphen. #hammam-Islamic
@oligneisti Do you mean something like Wikipedia's Disambiguation pages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrow ? Perhaps arranged like the three options you get when you search, eg, #histodons? I don't know how that could be done and, looking at the length of the Harrow list, whether it would actually be helpful. Interesting idea. What would happen if I tagged this reply #hammam(Islamic) ? Let's try it.
