Not enclosed like the houses of Cairo, the public bathhouses of Thebes are out in the open. Built around natural springs, the marble steps and pools are constructed outside with a canopy of embroidered fabric - sheer enough to let in sunlight but masking enough for the modesty of its high class patrons - forming the ceiling and walls. These mixed-gender bathhouses are strictly for the upper classes, while the lower classes bathe in the Nile.
