Not sure whether you’d prefer a Russian spa or a European massage in Dubai? This guide breaks it down without the spa jargon. Russian spa sessions are ritual-style, using heat, steam, scrubbing and a cold finish, so they feel intense. European massage is the calmer, hands-on route, with Swedish, deep tissue and aromatherapy styles where you can tell the therapist how much pressure you like. The article puts the two side by side and adds a few easy questions to help you decide. It also mentions Turkish Hammam and Moroccan Bath as steam-and-exfoliation alternatives, since Wellness Haven doesn’t currently offer a Russian spa. Handy if you’re comparing spa treatments in Dubai.
