As a start, Emirates Holidays is partnering two premier establishments to provide their health and wellness programmes – DNA Health at\u00a0Madinat Jumeirah<\/a>\u00a0and Rayya Wellness Retreat at the Retreat Palm Dubai, M Gallery by Sofitel.The health and wellness packages are being launched in association with Dubai Health Experience (DXH), a brand conceived by the\u00a0Dubai Health Authority<\/a>\u00a0(DHA) to strengthen the medical facilities in Dubai and strengthen the position of Dubai on the world map of medical tourism.<\/p>\n

The packages have been launched today.<\/p>\n

Dr\u00a0Layla Al Marzouqi<\/a>, Director of Health Tourism Council at the DHA said, \u201cDubai is a favourable location for travellers, particularly from the neighbouring GCC countries. Dubai offers world-class hospitality and healthcare services and our objective is to provide health tourists with a unique experience, the highest medical service standards using state-of-the-art technology accompanied by highly specialized and educated staff. The wellness sector in the Emirate offers excellence in service for travellers seeking wellness services along with several tourism options. We also plan to co-develop preventive health check-up holiday packages of various kinds for individuals, families and children in the future in collaboration with leading hospital and clinics in Dubai.<\/p>\n

We see the health and wellness segment as a significant growth opportunity for Emirates Holidays and Dubai as a destination,\u201d said Robin Parry, Vice President, Emirates Holidays.<\/p>\n
