One response to “The Most Exclusive Desert Resorts in the UAE”
The desert resorts here show a side of the UAE that many first-time visitors miss, beyond the city hotels and beaches. Staying out in the dunes, especially around Abu Dhabi, gives a slower pace, with space, silence and desert light that you simply do not get in Dubai. Your point about choosing a resort for its setting, not just its facilities, is important, as the Empty Quarter feels very different from a coastal resort. For travellers who want adventure as well, a Desert safari Dubai trip paired with a desert stay makes the trip feel complete, rather than just luxurious.
