TOUR DESCRIPTION
Combine history and indulgence on an unforgettable day in Granada. Spend the morning exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Site of The Alhambra, followed by a relaxing afternoon Arab Bath Ritual.
In the morning, visit one of the most visited monuments in the world The Alhambra (approximately 2.5 hours). Its construction was started by the founder of the Nasrid Dynasty: Mohammed Ibn Alhamar, in the 16th century, at the red hill known as Assabic, which overlooks Granada . The fortress or alcazaba was built in first place, and afterwards, the Royal Palace and the highest part of the Alhambra which became the court member residence. Later on, Charles V commissioned a palace to be built at the same site. You have the afternooon free before making your way to indulge in the Arab bath ritual, where the murmur of water intermingles with masmine notes and mint tea. All senses will sail away in a sea of arches and blue vaults over hexagonal adobe columns. The Arab bath, apart from its effect on the body and soul by means of weak light and essential oils, has been considered a social meeting center, where business was celebrated and where important daily life questions were discussed.
The hamman offers a new concept of bathing, focused on general body care, keeping the peaceful atmosphere and the simple refinement inherited from Al-Andalus.
You have the option of combining the Arab bath ritual with a massage and aromatherapy.
