You can’t miss this OASIS in the desert
2 hours driving from Dubai, near Saudi Arabia border you will find the “Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara”.😍 There is no city or villa near the resort, only the desert. It was wonderful to discover this place and all the details. The resort is huge with an incredible service. They will receive you with welcome drinks.
I felt so good and in peace while I was there. I felt as if there were no problems in the world.
The road is safe and despite the wind blowing a lot of sand, it’s not that hard to drive until there! Please go and discover it by yourself!

The sky is on fire, that’s why I’m hot
The most beautiful desert resort in Abu Dhabi, the sand was clean and pinkie. The weather was so so so hot can’t even stand under the sun for more than 5mins. The night in the desert was amazing, quiet, peaceful, enjoy the starry sky.

Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort
Located in the heart of the desert, the Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort emerges as a luxurious mirage, offering an unparalleled experience that is both epic and intimate. Surrounded by beautiful sand dunes, the resort creates a breathtaking panorama, especially under the golden hues of sunrise and sunset. When I visited in February, I was greeted with perfect weather that added a magical touch to the serene and majestic landscape.
The architecture of Qasr Al Sarab pays homage to the rich heritage of the region, blending traditional elements with modern luxury in an innovative way. Its design intricately weaves the splendor of a palace with the essence of the desert, turning every corner of the resort into a picturesque scene worthy of admiration.
My experience was heightened by a dinner set against the sun-kissed sand dunes. The food was a delightful journey through Arab flavors, with each dish being carefully prepared and presented. After dinner, the shisha lounge offered a tranquil space to unwind, complementing the cool desert night with aromatic flavors. The ambiance was further enriched by an Arab music DJ, whose tracks added a true atmosphere to the setting, achieving a perfect harmony between tradition and modern leisure.
The resort stands out not only for its stunning location and architectural beauty but also for its ability to provide a therapeutic retreat for the body, mind, and soul. Whether walking on the soft desert sands, immersing in breathtaking views, or indulging in culture and cuisine, every moment at Qasr Al Sarab felt like a step away from the ordinary towards tranquility.
In summary, Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort is more than just a place to stay. It is a destination that offers a unique escape into the heart of the desert. Impeccable service, exquisite dining, and a blend of cultural richness and luxury make it an unforgettable experience. For those seeking peace, indulging in luxury, and immersing in the beauty of the desert, Qasr Al Sarab epitomizes the elegance of the desert and the adventure of a lifetime.

It is located in the middle of the world's second largest desert. It is about 300km away from the center of Abu Dhabi. Although it is remote, it is really invincible! ! Fully satisfied my various fantasies about the Arab countries! The entire hotel building is like the Aladdin lamp that you watched as a child! Desert castle! !
