Dream Destination: Qasr al Sarab Desert Resort

A world of indulgence and wonder awaits those who venture to this tranquil oasis resting amid sweeping sand dunes that morph from dusty yellow to fiery orange as the sun sets. There are 205 sumptuous rooms, villas and suites divided by emerald-green grass, intricate walkways and arches, and tall palm trees. Inside the resort, poolside sun loungers beckon, as do indulgent spa treatments and exquisite dinner options (feasting under starry skies is a magical way to spend an evening). Beyond, the desert calls to adventurous souls with camel trekking and dune bashing.
