Experiences
Experiences
Three ways to slow down: the hammam, the kitchen, the neighbourhood.
The Hammam
The neighbourhood hammam opens its doors to us early, before the first visitors. A black soap scrub, clay, a moment of steam and quiet — by reservation, for two guests at a time at most.
The Kitchen
My mother still cooks some mornings herself: brik, salade méchouia, a Friday couscous. It often starts with Turkish coffee brewed over hot sand, before joining her at the stove and sitting down together in the courtyard.
Neighbourhood Walks
An hour's walk through the lanes of Sidi Bou Saïd with a family member: ceramic workshops, views over the gulf, the village's history told without notes or a group of twenty.
By reservation
Each experience is arranged the day before, in small groups. Ask at the front desk, or mention it when you book.
