"A long-standing favorite on the city’s desert fringe, the resort evokes an Arabian fantasy with crenellated walls, carved wooden doors, and water features, and has been revitalized with new restaurants, a spa, a hammam, and recent pool-villa additions. Guests can swim in infinity pools overlooking sand, take short desert safaris to spot Arabian oryx and sand gazelles, enjoy camel photo-ops at sunset, and experience a nightly Al Hadheerah spectacle featuring an extensive array of live cooking stations and traditional performances from belly dancers to dabke." - Nicola Chilton
