The Secrets Of The Tunisian Doors 3

No, it's not a door disguised as a watermelon!
I continue this series reserved for traditional Tunisian doors, today I will evoke the doors of the Moorish Baths (in Arabic, known as Hammam), a privileged meeting place, a place of political discussion in the time of colonization, is also a unique place for a mother to look for her future daughter-in-law!

The door of the Moorish Bath is gleaming with colors and doesn’t look like any other! It’s recognizable by these motley colors, recognizable from a distance! Indeed, the Moorish Bath, which is the oriental version of the sauna, still holds a significant place in the life of the Tunisian who goes there once a week. This habit may derive its roots from the Roman era when their ancestors already frequent the thermal baths that are now part of the Tunisian heritage. We came to these places to wash but also to relax ...
The hammam is above all a public bath, where one comes with family or friends to take a bath of heat, whose virtues prove beneficial for the body as well as for the spirit. The effect of sweating helps to eliminate toxins and excess water accumulated by adipose tissue. When you leave, you immediately feel a relaxing effect. A very pleasant moment, which you spend lying in a specially arranged room, drinking a glass of tea or enjoying fresh fruit.
