In the UAE, there's very little we really need to leave the house for. Whether you want your food delivered to your home, someone to come and clean your car or even an expert to offer you advice on how to keep pet fish alive (this is a real thing, read more here if you don't believe us), there's a service you can book.
So there will be no surprise that there are also plenty of great at-home beauty and spa services you can dial up for, too.
Here's a list of some of the best on offer across the Emirates.
Home Spa By Ignite Wellness

This mobile spa specialises in bringing massage therapists to your door.
