About the place
Hammami Davudi has been in use since 1893, which makes it one of the oldest working hammams in the city. It stands among private houses on Khujum Street in the former Jewish mahalla, opposite the Kanesoi Gumbaz synagogue.
It is open every day from morning until late evening, and the water temperature can be adjusted to the guest's liking; bathers wear a cloth wrap and wooden sandals. Shah-i-Zinda is about 430 metres to the north, and the Bibi-Khanym mosque and Siab bazaar are about 650 metres to the west.
Why go
- A traditional bath still in daily use
- In the old Jewish quarter, next to a working synagogue
- A short walk from Shah-i-Zinda and Siab bazaar
