Redha 23 Women's Beauty Center (Salon 23)

Redha 23 Women's Beauty Center, also listed as Salon 23, is a women-only beauty centre and bath house on King Fahd Road in Madinah, Saudi Arabia, within the King Fahd district of the city. The setting is an urban, indoor salon rather than a resort spa, and the women-only format makes it a private option for female residents and visitors who want a bathing and grooming session away from the crowds around Masjid an-Nabawi. The centre is best known for its traditional bath packages, which are the main reason travellers seek it out. The menu centres on three bath rituals: the Saudi bath, the Moroccan bath and the Royal Moroccan bath. The Moroccan style is a North African hammam tradition built around steam, black soap and a vigorous exfoliating scrub, while the Saudi bath follows regional bathing and body-care customs of the Arabian Peninsula. The packages are listed at roughly 80 to 90 minutes each, and a massage is available as an add-on or separate service. A Moroccan or Saudi bath was listed at about SAR 299 (around $80), which is an estimate and may change, so confirmed pricing should be checked at the time of booking. Publicly available information does not detail the therapists' training, so visitors who care about qualifications are best advised to ask when reserving. Facilities are those of a women's beauty centre and bath: private treatment and bathing areas rather than communal pools, thermal circuits or meditation rooms, and there is no accommodation on site. Booking is done through the Fresha app, which lists the available treatments and time slots, and reserving ahead is the norm because bath packages occupy a long block of time. Visitors usually arrive a little early to change and settle before the session starts. Because the centre is open to women only, male travellers and mixed groups cannot use it, though women travelling with family can book it while the rest of the party sightsees. King Fahd Road is a main thoroughfare, so reaching the centre by taxi or ride-hailing from central Madinah hotels is the simplest approach.
