Hamam Al-Sammara as spelled in Arabic, or The Samaritans Bath, also known as the Brown Bath; it is a bath of special importance for Gaza and the only housebath that remains after the Turkish era. Back in time to its origin, Hamam Al-Sammara is a picture of the old, traditional bathhouses that had been built before almost a century. It's located in the Zeitoun Quarter, the old city, Gaza, Palestine (known by everyone). The Brown bath consists of several rooms that differ in their temperatures.
