“In my opinion, what sets this desert resort apart is its immersive dedication to Arabian heritage, extending from its architecture modeled after a traditional fort to the curated desert experiences. The dining stands out, particularly Al Hadheerah, where attentive service and regional cuisine create memorable evenings. It's a place where the tranquility of the desert meets thoughtfully crafted hospitality.”
