Moroccan Hamman When the splendor of the Roman Empire receded into the boot of Italy, the architectual remains of the Greek baths and the balnea inspired the smaller and more modest hammams of Islam. However, not until Muhammed himself enthusiastically recommended sweat baths around 60O AD did the Islamic hammam begin to proliferate. Muhammad believed that the heat of the hammam (which in Arabic means "spreader of warmth") enhanced fertility, and the followers of the faith should multiply. Until the hammam caught Muhammed's fancy, the Arabs used only cold water and never bathed in tubs, which was considered as bathing in one's own filth. But when the conquering Arabs encountered Roman and Greek baths in Syria, holy men immediately adopted the pleasure of hot air bathing (perhaps to compensate for the joys of alcohol forbidden by their faith). When the Arabs captured Alexandria in 642, they reportedly heated the Roman baths for six straight months with pergaments and papyri from the fabulous Ptolemaic Library. As many as 700,000 works may have been burned. Live the life as the grand Vizier would have ! The grace and splendor of the Orient, traditional Arab hospitality, and the fine service and amenities of a boutique hotel all come together in this proposal.
