Hammam is not as hot as sauna and not as dry. Sauna's air temperatures can reach above 100 degress Celsius and humidity is usually relatively low (around 20%).

Hammam's temperatures are around 40-50 degrees Celsius and humidity is close to 100%.

These are very different conditions, with very different body response.
