As part of the hugely successful Spa Style series, EDM will publish this exciting new title Spa Style Arabia. The region being relatively new on the global spa scene, Spa Style Arabia is the first book to draw upon the ancient traditions of bathing rituals, salt scrubs, the rasul and other indigenous spa therapies of Arabia. It provides an insight to the opulence and pure indulgence of the new Arabian spa style. Spanning the whole area, from Dubai to Egypt and Lebanon, the book studies Arabian traditions and explains the history, culture and philosophy of Arabian spa therapy. Providing a context, the book discusses Ancient Egypt, the hammam, the desert setting, the Bedouin tribes and traditional Arabian remedies—all of which have contributed to today’s Arabian spa.
Spa Cuisine surveys the vast and varied Arabian cuisine and provides healthy, tasty recipes for complete meals together with nutritional advice. The Spa Digest is a most reliable source for the spa-goer. Covering only the best, largest and most opulent spas from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Tunisia and UAE, the spa directory is organized geographically. Packed with information, each property is presented with its facilities, treatments and therapies, provisions for couples, availability of spa cuisine, services, recreation options and contact details.
