Why the Royal Hammam at One&Only Royal Mirage is a must-try
Sponsored: Steam, scrub, and serenity – this is self-care at its finest…
There's a reason the hammam has stood the test of time. More than just a skincare ritual, it's a full-body reset – a chance to step away from the noise, sink into warmth, and emerge feeling brand new. At One&Only Royal Mirage, the Royal Hammam brings this ancient tradition into the modern day, offering a deeply restorative experience in a setting that feels worlds away from the everyday.
A ritual rooted in tradition
For centuries, hammams have been a cornerstone of Middle Eastern and North African culture – a cleansing ritual designed to refresh both body and mind. The Royal Hammam stays true to its origins, blending time-honoured techniques with refined touches that make the experience all the more indulgent.
What to expect
Step into the marble-clad hammam, where steam works its magic, softening skin and soothing the senses. A black soap cleanse prepares you for the kessa mitt exfoliation – think deep but gentle scrubbing that buffs away dullness to reveal silky-smooth skin. A nourishing mask follows, then a rhythmic massage that melts away tension, leaving you feeling lighter, brighter, and deeply relaxed.
Beyond the glow
Yes, your skin will be softer than ever, but the hammam is more than just an exfoliation fix. It's known to boost circulation, relieve muscle tension, and quiet the mind – a perfect antidote to busy schedules and restless thoughts.
A setting of pure serenity
With intricate mosaics, ambient lighting, and the sound of flowing water, the Royal Hammam is as much about the atmosphere as the treatment itself. Every detail is designed to enhance relaxation, making it easy to switch off and soak in the moment.
A gift to yourself (or someone else)
Whether you're booking a solo retreat or sharing the experience with a loved one, this is self-care worth making time for. And if you're looking for a thoughtful gift, a bespoke hammam voucher is an effortless way to share a little luxury.

Middle East passenger numbers set to reach 530 million by 2043: IATA
Post Views: 53 Passenger traffic across the Middle East is expected to soar to 530 million by 2043, effectively doubling from current figures, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The 20-year forecast anticipates an average annual growth rate of 3.9% in passenger numbers from 2023 to 2043, slightly surpassing the global average of 3.8%. Also, the region is set to achieve the highest net profit per passenger globally, expected to post a net profit of $6.2 billion, representing an 8.7% profit margin, well above the global average, driven by strong economic performance and demand for both business and leisure travel. As per the IATA Passenger reports, 'Middle Eastern airlines saw a 14.2 per cent year-on-year increase in demand. Capacity increased 9.9 per cent year-on-year, and the load factor increased by +3.0 percentage points to 79.3 per cent compared to April 2023.' With hubs like Dubai, Doha, and Riyadh leading the charge, the focus must now shift to ensuring all parts of the region are equipped to benefit from the coming wave of air traffic and infrastructure development.

Eid Al Adha weekend: All the ways you can travel to Oman from the UAE
The beautiful country of Oman is all but a stone's throw away, full of natural beauty and astonishing history waiting to be explored. And if you're wondering how to get to Oman from the UAE, you've come to the right place. While taking a (hilariously) short flight to our neighbour's doorstep is always an option, some of us might not be game for the hassle of heading to the airport. Fortunately for us living on this side of the border, there are many ways we can get there. Not only are some of them easy and pocket-friendly, but they could also be a fun little activity if you're feeling a bit worse for wear or in need of a quick getaway to refresh yourself. Daycations, staycations and vacations – all are a possibility. Here are all the ways you can travel to Oman. By air If you're looking for an easy breezy in-and-out of the country, taking a flight might be your best option, mostly because of how short the journey is. A flight to Muscat International Airport from any airport in the UAE will last around 45 minutes to an hour. Flights are available daily from Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah at reasonable rates. If you're flying from Dubai, Emirates and FlyDubai have round-trip flights starting from Dhs1,245 and Dhs805 respectively. Air Arabia from Sharjah starts at Dhs1,168 for a roundtrip. By road Buses You can take a bus to multiple destinations within Oman, including Muscat, Sohar and Salalah. Mwasalat, Oman's national transportation company has a bus route to Abu Dhabi via Al Ain to Oman. There is also a route between the UAE and Oman by Oman's national transport company Mwasalat, connecting the two countries between Sharjah and Muscat. For Dubai, residents can use the bus services through Al Khanjry Transport. Operating daily, this service provides daily services at 7am, 3pm, and 9pm from the office of Al Khanjry Transport in Dubai, at Dhs95 per ticket for one-way. Bus rides to Oman take approximately six hours and includes rest stops, immigration services and more. From Muscat to Abu Dhabi, buses will depart from the Azaiba bus station in Muscat at 6.30am and arrive at the Abu Dhabi bus station at 3.40pm. From Abu Dhabi to Muscat, buses will depart Abu Dhabi at 10.45am and arrive at the Azaiba bus station at 8.35pm. A one-way ticket for the ride will cost you Dhs109.70 or 11.5 Omani Riyals. As for baggage allowance, passengers will be able to bring up to 23kg of big luggage and up to 7kg of hand baggage. By car The road network connection from the UAE to Oman is made up of multiple border posts, routes and fantastic highways that will make driving a breeze. The journey takes approximately five hours, and is perfect for a quick road trip getaway. If you love taking long drives, it might be a little more convenient than the bus, considering you can stop and drive according to your convenience. The most popular border post open to UAE residents for crossing is Hatta – Al Wajajah. This post is closest to Dubai and Sharjah. Al Darah is closest to Ras Al Khaimah, whereas Dibba and Khatmat Milaha are connected via Fujairah. For Abu Dhabi residents, the Mezyad border post is the best option. Safe travels!
