Qatar, May 12 2025: Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som is set to host Hikma & Harmony: The Art of TAIM on Tuesday, 27 May 2025, a commemorative gathering honouring one of the world’s most enduring and sophisticated medical systems—Traditional Arabic and Islamic Medicine (TAIM). Designed as an immersive experience, the event will blend historical reverence with modern interpretation, offering curated sessions on healing modalities, medicinal nutrition and lifestyle practices rooted in TAIM's foundational texts.

“TAIM is at the heart of who we are,” said Ammar Samad, General Manager of Zulal Wellness Resort, in a statement preceding the event. “It represents a comprehensive, time-honoured system of wellbeing rooted in the natural rhythms of life. Through Hikma & Harmony, we hope to showcase the richness of this tradition and highlight how it continues to inform the way we nurture health today.”

Unlike other wellness destinations, Zulal is not just a spa retreat—it is the world’s first and only resort built entirely on the principles of TAIM. A collaborative project between Msheireb Properties, Qatar’s visionary sustainable real estate developer, and Chiva-Som, the Thai wellness pioneer with decades of experience in integrative health, Zulal is a rare hybrid: part sanctuary, part cultural laboratory.

Guests at the May gathering will have the chance to engage with TAIM as a living system, still as relevant to people’s wellbeing as it was 1,000 years ago. Herbal medicine demonstrations, nutritional workshops and panel discussions led by scholars and health experts will bridge the traditional and the contemporary.

The resurgence of interest in TAIM coincides with a broader global movement toward integrative and indigenous health practices—systems of care that predate modern pharmaceuticals and instead emphasise balance, environment and the healing properties of the natural world. TAIM, with its emphasis on the interconnectedness of body, mind and spirit, is increasingly seen not as alternative medicine but as ancestral science.

In hosting this celebration, Zulal Wellness Resort is paying homage to history and staking a claim for the future of wellness in the Gulf, and beyond. In a world urgently seeking more meaningful, sustainable paths to health, the ancient wisdom of TAIM may offer exactly what the modern age needs.
