Wild Wadi Waterpark opened Dubai’s first Fish Spa utilising the famed services of the Garra Rufa fish on April 1.
Fisho Fish Spa uses the toothless Garra Rufa fish — otherwise known as ‘Doctor Fish’ — in an alternative health and beauty treatment.

The fish safely and gently exfoliate skin by cleaning pores and removing dead skin cells. 

At Fisho, they will only target the feet, serving as a micro massage and improving blood circulation.
