The Good Stuff
Royal Package
The royal hammam can include soap, steam, scrubbing, face and body masks, and a shea-butter massage.
Calm Facilities
One review found a steam room, bath area, nails salon, hair salon and massage area on site.
Hair Finish
Hair services are a useful add-on, with reviews praising both hair treatments and proper blow-drying.
Small Extras
Some visits include complimentary Moroccan tea, slippers, a robe, disposable underwear and basic hair products.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check Location. Double-check that you booked the Al Barsha branch: one reviewer mistakenly selected the wrong location because there are two.
Bring Loofah. Bring your own loofah if you have one, or factor the reported 60-dirham charge into the visit.
Book Blowout. If you want styled hair rather than a quick post-treatment dry, book a proper blow-dry through the salon.
Allow Time. Gift-certificate users should allow extra time for verification before the appointment, especially when trying to book on the same day.
Clarify Massage. Explain your preferred pressure and technique before an aromatherapy massage, and speak up immediately if the routine feels uncomfortable.

The Bottom Line
Sultana Spa in Al Barsha is built around the Moroccan hammam: steam, soap, vigorous scrubbing, masks and a cleansing finish that reviewers repeatedly describe as thorough and skin-softening. You can also book a massage, facial, nails service or hair treatment, so it works well for a longer self-care visit rather than a single treatment. The royal hammam is the most elaborate example mentioned, combining face and body care with a shea-butter massage.
The setting is generally described as clean, calm and well maintained. One reviewer specifically noted a steam room, bath area, nails salon, hair salon and massage area, while complimentary tea and basic changing-room supplies add useful finishing touches. Hair drying after a hammam is only a quick dryer finish, though, so book a proper blow-dry if you want to leave fully styled.
There are a few practical cautions. A reviewer reported spending nearly 30 minutes verifying a gift certificate before finding out about an appointment, and another disputed how an online tip was handled. One massage complaint involved rough techniques and pain afterward, so clarify pressure and treatment style beforehand.
Also check that you selected the Al Barsha location, as reviews mention two branches, and bring a loofah or budget 60 dirhams for one.
