Location: Hammam Ouled Ali, north of Guelma
Hammam Ouled Ali is a hot spring site in the municipality of Heliopolis, about twenty kilometres north of Guelma. Two large thermal complexes stand side by side there, El Baraka and Bouchahrine, so check the name of your complex when you book and when you arrive.
Guelma province has a second major spa town, Hammam Debagh, the former Hammam Meskhoutine, west of the city, and many families visit both. Constantine and Annaba, the region's big cities, are within driving distance if you want to extend your trip.
Rooms and bungalows
The complex has several room buildings plus bungalows, which suit families better. Guests report differences in comfort between buildings, so ask which one your room is in. In winter, also check that the heating works, as some recent reviews complain about it.
Room types, occupancy and facilities vary from one offer to another. Algerian couples are asked for their family record book; foreign travellers should check the rule directly with the complex.
Thermal baths, pool and treatments
People come to El Baraka for the hot water of Hammam Ouled Ali: baths, a pool and treatments are available on site. According to some guests, pool access may be charged on top of the room, so ask what is included before you pay.
According to the local establishments, the waters of Hammam Ouled Ali are known for easing rheumatism and some skin conditions. This is not a promise of a cure: ask your doctor before a spa stay, especially if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, are pregnant or are under treatment.
Restaurant and cafeteria
The complex has a restaurant and a cafeteria. Some guests find the menu expensive and breakfast light; whether breakfast is included depends on your offer and is shown before booking.
During Ramadan, meal times and services may change. Bring water, sandals and a towel for the baths.
