Proof that Dubai Has not Changed Much………..
“Cosima Cummings looks slightly bewildered as one of the spa staff members massages her tiny feet with lavender scent lotion, before polishing and painting her nails. The air faintly smells of coconut and Hannah Montana music is playing in the background. “Mummy, my toes are dry but you mustn’t touch my fingers!” she tells her mother as she springs up from the small couch on which she has been quietly sitting. Cosima is three years old. She just finished a half-hour spa session. She missed out on the honey, oatmeal and yogurt facials that are on offer for kids from two to 12 years old, though. Maya Abbar, the owner and founder of Tickles & Giggles, a children’s spa and party shop that has been open for three months in Dubai’s Jumeirah Beach Residence area, said that usually, “the girls check in, they get cucumbers for their eyes and they get served sparkling apple juice, and these girls, once they sit down they look like they’ve been doing it for years. The two-year-olds just put their heads back and it’s hilarious.”………”
Apparently the decadence is still there, that has not changed much.
