Massage by Ahmed

Over the past couple of years, I’ve kept coming back to this amazing spa. After experiencing a Hammam in Dubai, I wanted something similar near me. This spa exceeded my expectations.The spa’s peaceful and luxurious ambiance makes you feel relaxed right away. The hammam treatments are designed to refresh and rejuvenate, using top-notch ingredients that leave your skin feeling great. Each session feels special.What really stands out is the exceptional service from the owners. They are genuinely warm and attentive, making every visit special.This spa has become my go-to place for relaxation and self-care, offering a peaceful retreat from everyday life. If you’re looking for luxury, outstanding service, and the best hammam treatments, this spa is a hidden gem.

This is the best, most therapeutic massage I have ever had! Ahmed is a skilled professional who understands the human body. By the end of my 90 minutes, my tense and knotted back felt so much better. Ahmed educated me on the causes, treatment and prevention as well. The environment is also very calming with beautiful artwork and lighting.

Thank you for an amazing experience. I hope to travel from Montana again next year and schedule my massage! Make sure to schedule early because they are booked out 3 to 4 weeks.

Highly recommend, Ahmed! He is very skilled, smart, caring, and attentive. Calm and clean atmosphere. Worth it.Best deep tissue massage I ever had (and I had many). I came in with neck and lower back pain from working long days at the computer and exercising at Orange Theory. Ahmed knew exactly what I needed and focused on my most tense areas. Great pressure - he will adjust to your preference. Surprisingly, his massage cleared my sinuses. At the end, I felt relaxed and had no pain.Ahmed has a knack for teaching. I learned about his technique and parts of my body that caused me pain.I had the 90-min massage. Highly recommend. Definitely will come back again before I move away for school.

Wow, epic! I’ve had massages all over the world and this was one of the best - if not the best - I’ve ever had. The combination of his 17 years experience with his bedside / massage table manner made it unforgettable. Thank you Ahmed!! I feel so much more relaxed - and taller!!

Great experience! Better than intermittent fasting or a juice cleanse for sure! Ahmed and his wife Fatima have created an outstanding spa experience. The place is immaculate. The parking is easy. The post treatment room is a lovely experience in and of itself with Moroccan mint tea and a little pastry to top off that pampered feeling!

Ahmed is the very best. Highly skilled, thoughtful, wise, caring and professional problem solver who works magic to keep me running at full speed. 10/10. Couldnt recommend more highly for regular relaxation and maintenance massage appointments and/or working on nagging or emergent specific issues.

My experience with Fatima was beautiful. She took the time to explain everything to me beforehand and I really appreciate that they asked about any allergies to skincare products beforehand - I think this is the first time Ive ever been asked this in advance when getting a massage/body treatment. The actual treatment was amazing and I nearly fell asleep because I was so relaxed. Fatima was very attentive and checked with me to be sure that the temperature and pressure of the water was comfortable for me as she worked. Even the next day, Im loving how soft and smooth my skin feels. I also really appreciate the invitation to stay behind and relax a bit after the treatment in the anteroom. It really added to the entire experience. This was my first Hammam experience, but Ill definitely be back!

Usually, when Ahmed asks if any part of my body is troubling me, Im able to answer no. This last visit came when I had been suffering a sore elbow for over two months, so I finally could say yes.He spent a good amount of time working on an area above my elbow and I couldnt see how that was going to help. But when I flexed my arm, there was a significant reduction in the pain.Ahmed definitely knows what hes doing. He has a thorough knowledge anatomy and how to achieve his clients goals. During a massage, he asks regularly if the pressure is right. He finds knotted muscles where I didnt know I had them and smooths them out with a few deft maneuvers. He is calm, kind, but firm. His is the best therapeutic massage Ive ever had.Ahmed keeps his premises spotlessly clean and follows all COVID protocols. He and his staff are fully vaccinated and I have no health concerns when visiting. I highly recommend Ahmeds services.

Ahmed knows a lot about physiology and different techniques of massage - he was able to find and work on/out so many trouble spots. He regularly checked in about my comfort levels and was a good communicator. He was professional, and really nice. I had a very good experience and plan to return. Probably one of the best massages I’ve ever had by someone who really knows his stuff!

It was first time I had Moroccan Hammam experience. It was wonderful - Fatima is so professional and very nice. I am so modest so wasnt sure I would feel comfortable- but did. I loved the whole experience - a special treat that I will hopefully be able to do again. After the Hammam I had stretching massage with Ahmad - It was amazing -stretched muscles I didnt even know were tight. I would highly recommend for anyone that needs/wants a special feel-good experience- it is so worth it!!

Yesterday was my first visit and I will be returning. The office was serene. Ahmed was interested in what I wanted most from the massage. I have some chronic pain, so asking the patient/client their priorities is paramount. He was well versed in a variety of modalities and techniques that enhance massage: aromatherapy, reflexology, trigger points. The spaces were immaculate. I was very impressed

The whole experience was very relaxing and renewing! Before entering the spa, the aromatherapy welcomed us in. Ahmed and Fatima have a warmly decorated place and offered delicious Moroccan tea and cookies. The Hammam experience was just what I expected! Very authentic!! Top of the line black soap, Argan oil from Fatimas family farm, rose water and much more. Fatima did a phenomenal job at removing all my dead skin without putting too much pressure on my body. I left with the softest, glowing skin. Definitely coming back in a month or so.

It is almost impossible to describe the “MAGIC” of Ahmed’s hands. He is, by far, without a doubt, THE BEST massage therapist i have EVER experienced. Not only is he well trained and tuned in to his client’s needs, he is responsive to their requests. My body has some, what i call, “sensitive spots” that hurt when too much pressure is applied. I simply tell Ahmed and his touch changes immediately to accommodate my sensitivities. Ahmed is also trained in lymphatic massage which helps considerably with poor blood circulation. Due to many (4) knee surgeries on my left knee, i have developed circulatory issues which include swelling of my left lower leg. Since Ahmed incorporated lymphatic massage of my lower legs, i am experiencing reduced swelling and less discomfort. Ahmed is a kind, caring, attentive and intelligent man who truly cares about the comfort and well-being of his clients. If your goal is to find a truly qualified massage therapist who stands out above the rest, I recommend Ahmed without hesitation. In my book, he is truly THE BEST!!

I received the Hammam treatment, and wow i was in for a treat that i didn’t know i needed in my life! It was something unlike i have ever experienced before, relaxing ambiance, Fatima was so welcoming and professional and i felt like a brand new person after. I literally felt the dead skin cells leave my body as she exfoliated my skin, I definitely recommend the Hammam, it is unlike any other spa treatment i have gotten, and i felt so so pampered after! It’s been a couple weeks and my skin still feels so nourished! I am looking forward to me next treatment!

The best in Bethesda! I have been going to Ahmed for more than ten years, and always get the most high-quality massages. Even after traveling to great spas out of town, nothing compares! His spa is clean, easy to park and welcoming. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Best Moroccan Hammam in the area! the ambiance is relaxing, inviting, and sparkling clean. Fatima is great! I got a good, and much needed scrub down. Fatima ended the session with a lovely aroma therapy message! the owners are taking strict precaution to keep clients safe during these covid-19 times.

This was an amazing experience. I’ve never had this service done before. Ahmed and Fatima were absolutely remarkable. The customer service was excellent! I’m extremely picky about customer service! I was treated respectfully and Fatima taught me a lot about body exfoliation. I’d recommend booking the 90minute package for a great full experience!The professionalism, the service, the space, and the experience was absolutely amazing. Even though this is a very personal service, Fatima and Ahmed make sure that you feel comfortable and relaxed. Fatima to one of my most vulnerable moments and turned it in to a Royal experience! I felt so clean, relaxed, and stress free after this session.As for pricing, they do have introductory prices on Groupon, however, if you call and book with them directly, they honor the Groupon prices without the hassle of actually having to purchase from Groupon! Make sure you book (call) directly with the company.It has been so long since I’ve experienced people/business owners who are truly dedicated to the service of their clients. No gimmicks, just pure love, respect, and peace!I’d highly recommend the service and yes, it’s very clean/sanitized space!

I did my first hammam session with Fatmiah recently, and I will definitely do it again with her.I have done Hammam so many times in the past in different middle eastern countries and I can tell she’s one of the best.She cleans my body and removes all the did skin. I got a very smooth skin afterward, and she used amazing oil in my hair.I felt so fresh and relaxed.They have a small place but it’s very clean and lovely. I love it. I highly recommend it.

Well I have to say that, I had a wonderful and relaxing experience. Ahmed made me feel comfortable and relaxed with his magic touch. The deep body massage he gave me was incredible.Ahmed is absolutely a gentleman and very knowledgeable at what he does. I’m definitely going back to see him.

As I have told Ahmed repeatedly, he has a client for life in me after seeing him for the first time a few months ago and now he has two in our household, including my husband. My husbands back tightened up the other day and he was in excruciating pain. I called Ahmed desperately looking to get him in. Ahmed went above and beyond to do whatever he could to help him in this distressing situation. After working non stop all day, he STILL managed not only to take time for my husband but to work his back out in such ways that my husband was actually able to play golf the next day! Its rare to find someone as talented and professional at what they do and at the same time have a heart of gold. Im not a review person but with someone as exceptional as Ahmed I had to take the time to share. You just dont find people like this everyday!

Outstanding service! The place is so clean and sensitized. Both Ahmed and Fatima are very friendly. The didn’t even charged me even if I canceled with short period of time before my appointment. Fatima, thank you so much for a great service, you spoiled me with your magical hands and the cookies are so good.❤️

Words CAN NOT express how awesome and experienced of a team Ahmed and Fatima are. From the moment you walk through the front door of the spa, all your stresses melt away. From the amazing smell of Moroccan scents, to the clean and very zen ambience...the hammam experience is just that, an EXPERIENCE! #PureRoyalty

Ahmed is by far and away the best massage therapist I have ever been to. He is a hidden gem in Bethesda. I started seeing him due to a prolonged running injury and have been going to him ever since. He genuinely cares about the health and well being of his clients. I cant say enough good things about him. I feel very fortunate that I found him.

Truly skilled massage therapist. My brother said, “it’s like he read my body.” I agree completely. I look forward to it again soon! Peaceful and calming energy as well.

It was first time I had Moroccan Hammam experience. I felt treated like a queen and so relaxed. You come into a private heated room and lay on the massage table undressed. First Fatima, who does Hammam, washes your body with black soap, then rinses you. After comes the most important part, she scrubs your body with a rough washcloth for exfoliation, tons of dead skin comes off. After she rinses that dead skin off you, she mixes clay with rose water, and applies it onto your body. She washes your hair too. While you go and rinse your body and hair, she cleans the table, and then she dries you, lets you cool down some, and massages your whole body with argan oil (she tells it comes from her aunties farm in Morocco). After she is done with you, you can dress and go sit, drink tea with cookies they provide in a cosy private room. I loved the whole experience, such a wonderful self-care method, and Fatima is very nice, welcoming, and professional.P.S. I would bring my own flip-flops next time.

Loved the experience, my skin fell soft!!!! Such a good selfcare reward. Don’t get ne started on the tea and cookies. I just loved the energy from Fatima and Ahmed! Will definitely come back!

My husband and I have been going to Ahmed for years. He has great skill and is always professional and very responsive to any feedback or requests you make. We highly recommend him!

Best true Therapy out there. Not your typical none sense Massages. Ahmed is very experienced in his field and you wont find his expertise anywhere in this area. Give him a try if he has spots on his schedule.

Outstanding Services that was beyond my expectation! Client-oriented! Professional! Put the client first! Great environment and natural products! In all of these years, it is the first time I received such efficient and caring services. I did the body scrubbing and massage! Wow! Marie Helene

Booked appointment weeks in advance. Got a call a few days prior telling me my appointment was confirmed then requesting that I move my appointment to a later time. I requested to stick with my originally scheduled appointment time and Ahmed confirmed then took my credit card information. Then the day of, get a text message less than an hour before my appointment time, saying my appointment is canceled.Unprofessional and a waste of time, will not be rebooking. Further, I requested on 07.01.18 that my online account be deleted from the scheduling website that I was required to set up to make an appointment but the request was ignored

Amazing experience. The best Hammam and massage by Ahmed and Fatima. Very clean and great customer service. I Highly recommended

Fatima is very professional. The place is very clean and nice. The skin feels soft and smooth....the homemade cookies are very good!

Ahmed helped me with my patellofemoral syndrome. I went to PT and no one was able to help me as much as Ahmed did. I am an avid athlete and nothing helped get me back on the field faster than Ahmed’s massage. Thank you :)

Ahmed is amazing. Ive worked with him since hes started and hes truly a gifted practitioner.
