Also in AFAR.

Therapists provide facials and massages inside Ni'mat Spa, with direct elevator access from the dedicated spa rooms.
The gym
A bright fitness room includes wooden rowing machines, stationary bikes, and wall ladders for daily workouts.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
