Health & Wellness

This place is worth the trek, though my Uber drivers can never find it on a map, so plan on hailing a taxi home. They have yoga classes and spa offerings and a cafe and play area for children. They also have a weekly market on Fridays. Check them out!

Every restaurant and grocery store delivers

Talabat is a great app to order delivery from restaurants; but you can also order over the phone. If you prefer to go to the grocery store, you can always ask for someone to deliver the bags.
