For those who want a little more for their wardrobe, spending Dh549 will add two hand-stitched shirts to the ensemble. Once the customer has been measured up, allow 15 days for the suit to be made.

Watch out for: Book your fitting as the voucher is only valid to use until November.

Pick up and drop off is an extra Dh70 for the 45-minute trip into the desert.
