Here’s what you need to know about visiting the Daymaniyat Islands:
-This is a protected nature reserve and access is regulated, so the best way to get here is by booking an official boat tour
-You can book a half day or full day tour
-It takes about 40-45 minutes to get to the islands from Al Mouj Marina
-The islands are a popular nesting site for migratory birds and sea turtles and between May and October it’s a great place to spot Whale Sharks

Ok be honest, which massage person are you 💆‍ Ok be honest, which massage person are you 💆‍♀️:

A) If it wasn’t painful, I didn’t get my money’s worth 

B) As gentle and relaxing as possible (this is basically my nap time) 

C) Give me all the add ons—full body scrub, essential oils, the works 

C) None of the above, please don’t touch me 🙅🏼‍♀️

Can you guess which one I am? 🤪
