As well as being about showing both compassion and charity, the holy month is also a time to refresh.
Particularly for those fasting, it is important to take time to relax during Ramadan – and spas around the UAE are offering a range of deals: we round up the best currently on offer below.
Downtown Dubai: The Address Boulevard
The spa at this luxury Downtown Dubai hotel has introduced a special treatment to mark the holy month. The Ramadan Detox and Rejuvenate, which costs Dh550, features an exfoliating 30-minute body scrub to leave skin soft and refreshed, as well as a relaxing 60-minute massage using nourishing body balm. Guests can also add on an instant booster facial for Dh150 if they want to make it a head-to-to pamper session.
