ZEN IN THE CITY
Riyadh’s Top Spas I’m sharing my spa adventures with all of you, men (yes, I recognize you’re stressed too) and women in dire need of some pampering. By Jou Pabalate
AL MANAHIL CENTER (Women Only)
Tucked at the heart of the Diplomatic Quarter is one of the first women centers in the city. Their spa and beauty salon has been around for years and despite not being the most accessible place in our list, it does have a long list of loyal followers.

DR Recommends: If you live outside the DQ, you can still easily access Al Manahil by telling the guards at the gate. While I hesitate to give you my favorite masseuse’s name (it’s already difficult as is to get an appointment with her), I do so as a public service—look for Siva when you make your reservation. I would personally recommend the Aromatherapy massage (SR 350 per hour) for people who want things light and relaxing.
