[2025 Al Dhafra Stay] Travel Guide for Anantara Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort (Updated Feb)

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! #beautifulhotel#summervacation

Before coming, I was hesitant to book this hotel. After all, it takes three hours to drive from Abu Dhabi, and there is some dust on the road. I was worried that it would not be worth it, but after driving into the hotel's internal road (about 7-8 km), all my worries were unnecessary. I didn't expect the desert to be so beautiful. The hotel is in the heart of the desert, with only one hotel nearby. It feels like two or three days is enough, and staying longer would be a bit boring. The room has a great view, and you can overlook the endless desert landscape while lying in bed. It's amazing! In such a water-scarce place in the desert, the hotel actually has a swimming pool, which I didn't expect. It's a pleasant surprise~ The hotel also has stargazing activities at night. It's a worthwhile experience to watch the stars in the desert at night. There are also camel riding activities, where you can chase the sunrise and sunset. In addition, there are sandboarding and off-road vehicle experiences. When leaving, the hotel also gave us souvenirs, including a thermos cup, and the chocolate was delicious. I'm looking forward to the next stay. If you come to Abu Dhabi, you must experience this desert hotel, or you will regret it. It's really worth it!

Surrounded by endless golden sand dunes, the hotel is like an oasis in the desert, like an ancient palace standing in the sand. At night, it looks like a dream castle from the Arabian Nights. Every corner and decoration is exquisite and has traditional Arabic architectural features, mysterious and romantic.

#besthotels This desert hotel in Abu Dhabi is a must stay for a lifetime! It's really beautiful! Before coming here, I was still hesitating whether to book this hotel. After all, it would take another three hours to drive from Abu Dhabi, and there was some dust on the road. I was worried that it might not be worth it, but after driving into the hotel's internal road (estimated 7-8 kilometers), all my worries were unnecessary. I didn't expect the desert to be so beautiful! The hotel is in the hinterland of the desert, and there is only one hotel around. It's enough to stay for two or three days. If you stay for a long time, it will be a bit boring. The view of the room is very awesome 👍 Lying in bed, you can overlook the vast desert landscape, which is truly breathtaking! In such a water scarce place in the desert, the hotel actually has a swimming pool 🏊 I didn't expect this, it's so surprising~The hotel also offers night stargazing 🔭 As for the activity, watching the stars in the desert at night is also a worthwhile experience. There is also a camel riding event here, where you can catch up with the sunrise and sunset 👏 In addition, when leaving, the hotel also gave souvenirs such as sand flushing and off-road vehicle experience, as well as thermos cups and delicious chocolates. I am looking forward to my next stay 😭 Everyone who comes to Abu Dhabi must experience this desert hotel once, otherwise I feel a bit regretful, it's really worth it! 🏨 Hotel: Abu Dhabi Qasr Al Ossala Anantara Desert Resort Hotel 📍 Address: Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort - Al Mirayr, Aldavla, United Arab Emirates #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip

Some beautiful moments from the live stream. The hotel is beautifully designed, and every photo looks like a movie poster. It's amazing to see a pool in the middle of the desert. Money really can solve everything. ⚠️ It's worth noting that many desert activities are fully booked by the time you arrive at the hotel. The hotel staff said that during peak season, you need to book a few weeks in advance by email. We went camel riding 🐫 and watched a falcon show 🦅, which our baby really enjoyed. ☀️ In January, the temperature is 10–25°C. You can wear a long-sleeved shirt during the day, but you'll need a light down jacket if you want to eat outside at night. 🚗 I recommend renting a car. It takes about 2.5 hours to drive from Abu Dhabi and about 3.5 hours from Dubai. Be sure not to speed. We didn't pay attention and were fined nearly 2,000. 👶🏻 If you're traveling with a baby like us, the hotel is very friendly. They have diapers and baby wipes. They also gave us some candy when we checked in, and the staff loved interacting with our baby. 100% friendly 💯 There are still many foreigners swimming 🏊 at this time of year. If you're in good shape, you can give it a try. It's quite comfortable in the midday sun.

Anantara Desert Hotel🏜️ One Thousand and One Nights in the Desert|||Anantara Desert Hotel🏜️ When looking through the photos, I remembered my trip to Dubai this year. I want to write about this hotel in the desert, It is indeed a thousand and one nights in the desert🐪. It takes about 2 hours to drive from Abu Dhabi. The hotel is very big and I booked an ordinary garden room. It is recommended to stay at least two nights, otherwise you may not have time to experience all the hotel's projects. ⚠️If it is peak season, be sure to book the project with the hotel in advance. The main activities are sand washing and camel riding. The desert is really hot. You can only do outdoor activities at sunrise and sunset. You should stay indoors the rest of the time (the hotel has a spa, which can also be reserved. You can scan the code to view the hotel's projects and maps in the room, which is very convenient) . I chose the stimulating type of sand washing, but it was actually not very stimulating and was acceptable. Along the way, we will stop to take photos, rest and have some drinks. We also met a camel team🐫. All meals are taken care of in the hotel. The hotel includes breakfast, which is basically brunch. The hotel has several restaurants: Ghadeer and Suhai are both Western steaks 🥩 AL WAHA is a Middle Eastern cuisine where you can stargaze in the desert🔭 The hotel is really photogenic! ! It’s beautiful at night too! ! A place well worth a visit! Watch the most beautiful sunset in the desert

#SoutheastAsiaFlightEvent #trip #Couple I visited Qasr Al Sarab, a desert hotel, one of the reasons I visited Abu Dhabi It is a place with the best service and scenery in every way, so much so that I think it is the best hotel built on the desert When you go out in front of the house, there is a desert right in front of you, and at night, you can see stars pouring down from the sky. It is the best hotel. 💫 It is quite far from downtown Abu Dhabi, but I would like to recommend you to visit if you go to the UAE 📌 W82P+5MG - Hameem Road - Al Mirayr - Abu Dhabi - United Arab Emirates #2024WishEvent

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.
