Cleopatra's Spa adds a soothing touch to the festivities at Dubai Summer Surprises 2008

Their participation will add a pleasing new dimension to the festival, which has grown to become a major tourist attraction in its own right with shopping, entertainment, prizes and events drawing crowds by the thousands.

Cleopatra's Spa will form an integral part of the Spa Packages offer at DSS, which gives people the golden opportunity to experience the best of spa treatments at surprisingly good rates.

Inaugurated two years ago, DSS Spa Packages was an instant hit, with tourists and residents alike being pampered by the best spas in Dubai.

"Our participation in DSS 2008 was a foregone conclusion, considering the hugely successful partnership we enjoyed with DSS in 2006-07" said Ms. Daniella Russell, Director of Wafi Health & Leisure Group, the parent company of Cleopatra's Spa. "Getting a spa treatment is the best, most luxurious way to beat the heat in the summer, and it showed last summer when we had a tremendous number of people coming in for spa treatments. We were very encouraged by the response last time round, and are building on that success by introducing some more exotic DSS Spa Packages this time" she added.

The Cleopatra's Spa offerings for the 2008 Spa Packages are handpicked to suit the season.

Women can indulge in the soothing 'Ultimate Hydration' package, the ideal answer to dehydrating effects of sizzling summer sun.

Featuring a choice of Elemis Advanced Anti-Ageing facials, Balinese body treatments selection, relaxing time in the Dream Room and a spa meal, it's a complete experience in every sense.

For men, there is the 'Executive Selection' package that is designed for complete relaxation and rejuvenation.

This simple yet sophisticated package features Elemis Aroma Stone Therapy, Elemis IQ+ Facial, Elemis Luxury Shave and a spa meal. Both packages are on offer at a special DSS price.

With all the hectic action, fun and games lined up for Dubai Summer Surprises 2008, it is comforting to know that one can sit back and relax in the excellent confines of Cleopatra's Spa and completely recharge before the next day's entertainments begin.
