Self-care isn’t all mani-pedis and cucumber slices on your eyes. Although that is an arguably successful method, self-care can take many forms. Perhaps working from home has you feeling isolated and in need of human interaction – in this instance, self-care could mean reconnecting with your loved ones at a community-driven supper club. For others, self-care could be getting away from the noise of the city with a solo staycation amongst the dunes of Ras Al Khaimah. The MOJEH Weekend has an itinerary of activities that cater to every self-care definition and, if you are the cucumber-on-the-eyes type, a personalised reset ritual and exclusive beauty treatment has you covered there, too.
Where To Reset
As another week of headlines and uncertainty comes to an end, the weekend is welcomed with open arms. Take a moment to unwind and ground yourself with The Reset Ritual at the Longevity Hub Dubai by Clinique La Prairie. Harnessing almost a century of expertise from the Swiss-founded wellbeing partner, Longevity Hub Dubai takes you on a personalised wellbeing journey that begins with a comprehensive consultation to understand the areas for optimisation. The three-hour experience continues with a choice of advanced therapy, from thermal contrast exposure to guided neuro-relaxation, followed by a detoxifying treatment and a personalised facial.

Where To Eat
House of Habanero is (literally) the hottest new opening in Alserkal Avenue, bringing hot sauces from around the globe to Al Quoz’s creative hub. This weekend, it collaborates with Sobremesa, Souk Al Bahar’s Mexican-Spanish restaurant, for a one-off supper club experience. The menu is centred around spice and sees traditional plates paired with vibrant sauces, from Mexico’s coffee-infused Habanero y Café to Dawson’s Big Smoke Chipotle hailing all the way from Canada. In addition, the menu is complemented by a carefully curated beverage pairing of alcoholic and non-alcoholic concoctions. Discover new flavours, test your limits and connect with your community.
