The Roman Baths have a small circular pool that sometimes has water in it. When it does, it's often full of boys and young men, and women visitors might not feel comfortable having a dip. The baths do make a great destination for a walk, though, especially coupled with the Haroune aqueduct (a one-hour loop from Moulay Idriss Zerhoun).
