Layla Hassan

About Layla

Layla Hassan is an Egyptian wellness retreat specialist who has developed a uniquely Arabian approach to retreat experiences — drawing on traditional Arabic therapeutic practices, desert spirituality, and the extraordinary landscape of the UAE's desert interior to create wellness journeys unlike anything available in Western spa culture.

Her retreats incorporate Arabic coffee ceremony, traditional hammam rituals, desert sunrise yoga, stargazing meditation, and sound healing using instruments native to the Arab musical tradition. This culturally authentic approach resonates deeply with Emirati and Arab participants who find conventional Western wellness retreats disconnected from their cultural identity.

Layla partners with Al Maha Desert Resort and private desert venues in Hatta for her overnight retreats, and delivers day retreats on the Palm Jumeirah for clients who cannot commit to overnight stays. She is one of very few wellness facilitators in Dubai who conducts Arabic-language retreat experiences.
