If you're after more time to unwind (with this heat, guess we all are), the Summer Pampering packages range from 60 to 180 minutes, starting at Dhs780 and going up to Dhs1,950 depending on how indulgent you want to get. Or go full zen with the Blissful Escape, a traditional hammam ritual paired with a massage and full-day spa access.

Muhammad Ali's brother dies aged 82 as 'extraordinary bond' hailed in tributes

Muhammad Ali's younger brother Rahaman has passed away (Image: Stephen J. Cohen/Getty Images) Muhammad Ali's younger brother Rahaman has passed away at the age of 82, the Muhammad Ali Center has announced. Rahaman died on August 1 after battling an illness, having spent the final weeks of his life in a hospice in his hometown of Louisville. "You can't tell Muhammad's story without mentioning Rahaman," DeVone Holt, President and CEO of the Muhammad Ali Center, said. "He was one of the most constant sources of support for Muhammad during this career and their relationship was a true example of what it means to be 'my brother's keeper.'" Rahaman was also a professional boxer and had a 14-3 record, retiring from the sport in 1972 after he was knocked out by Jack O'Halloran. Rahaman would regularly spar with his brother and Muhammad's daughter Hana spoke of their "extraordinary bond" in an emotional tribute to her uncle. "Today, the last living member of my father's immediate family returned to heaven," Hana wrote. "My Uncle, lovingly known as Rock, was a sweet, gentle soul with a heart as big as the world. "He had that same sparkle in his eye that my father had… that same light, that same mischief, that same love. They were close their entire lives, brothers by blood, but friends by choice. Even as children, their bond was extraordinary.

I can just picture them now, reunited in heaven… playing Cowboys and Indians with the broomsticks they used to find in Mama Bird and Papa Cash's closet. "Daddy always insisted on being the Cowboy, and Rock the Indian. Or maybe they're back to one of their favourite games, Daddy convincing Rock to throw actual rocks at him so he could prove how fast he was by dodging them. "Whatever they're doing up there, I know it's full of joy, laughter, and the kind of brotherly love that helped shape our family. Uncle Rock had a heart of gold. "He never needed a spotlight to shine, and I believe that now, from above, he and Daddy are part of something bigger… something beautiful… something meant to help heal this broken world. "God bless you, Uncle Rock. You will be missed. You will be forever loved. And when my time comes, I hope you and Daddy will both be there, waiting to welcome me home."

Pontypool: Ragamuffins Emporium's best vintage bargains

Then we've got the perfect location you should check out. We visited Ragamuffins Emporium in Pontypool and looked at some absolute vintage bargains! Vintage bric a brac at Ragamuffins Pontypool! (Image: NQ) The shop on Commercial Street has been conveniently located in the town centre for the past several years. Run by local antiques legend Alun Davies 57, the shop has even played host to some famous faces. Alun told the Argus: 'As time went on its exploded! We have this emporium with four floors where we have 15-16 traders that rent spaces out and a coffee shop/vintage tearoom.' Alun gave us the scoop on what's popular. Local antiques legend Alun Davies (Image: NQ) He said: 'It changes with the seasons, obviously vinyl is really hot at the moment so that's making a resurgence. We have new vinyl in every single day, and it goes out as fast as it comes in. 'It's quite random what people buy so you can never tell from one month to the next.' Vintage bric a brac at Ragamuffins Pontypool! (Image: NQ) So, what's for sale? Whilst wandering around the store I spotted vintage crockery, jewellery, furniture including chairs, desks and cupboards tonnes of posters, jugs, mugs old records and just about everything in between! Alun explained: 'We have such a varied range of items in stock for example, this oak cupboard is sourced from Cornwall and then right there over there we have a 19th century French resistance style desk. Where else are you going to get such ends of the scale?' Vintage bric a brac at Ragamuffins Pontypool! (Image: NQ) So, what celebrities have stepped foot in store? According to Alun the shop has seen the likes of broadcaster Owain Wyn Evans, Chaser Jenny 'The Fox' Ryan, Strictly Come Dancing's Dianne Buswell and Step's singer Ian "H" Watkins. The proud owner of a high street gem Alun had the following message to shoppers. He said: 'Explore your high street, there's some phenomenal independent traders on the high street and a lot of people complain the high street is dead, the town is dead, but they don't visit their high street! 'People need to get out of the attitude that towns are dying so get out and use the towns!' Does anything here catch your eye?
