It is correct and appropriate to call it:

A turkish Bath,

Refer to the above site. I have search the term and found it occured about 3 000 000 times on the net, vs. Arabic Bath (1 500 000).

Even in Plaestine, Iraq, Syria, they call it a Turkish Bath, because it was bron during the Turkish empire ear.

Al the best

steam bath


Explanation:
if we were to be more inclusive or just technical we could call it that way or even chose another comprehensive term like "oriental bath"

If we were to make a distinction between Turkish, Moroccan, Turkish, steam and Arab (ic) bath for Khawaja-customers in Saudi, we should take the easy way out and just call it "Saudi Bath"

or rather Saudi Oriental Hammam;
and there are many more attractive combinations to solve this intercultural mystery

Morrocan Bath


Explanation:
i would like to explain what is meant by Morrocan Bath? and what make it different from any other bathes?
it is the Morrocan mud الطين المغربي i am not actually aware of the ingredients of this mud as it is manufactured in Morocco only. women buy it form different parts of the world and specially in gulf area from shops as it is but it is made only in Morocco.

After being exposed to sauna (steam bath), this mud is used to cleanse dirt with special message.

Plus the "Morrocan Bath" is well known in the arab world in this name only. Not arabic or turkish or any thing else.

For this reasons, I believe it can’t be translated anything else but Morrocan Bath
