“Gateway to the sun” is the promising Arabic name of this desert resort, inviting guests to an oasis town atmosphere. 40 minutes by car from Dubai, this resort consists of 16 two-story buildings connected by courtyards and winding stone stairs. Lightly decorated using handcrafted wood furniture and tapestry-woven rugs, the rooms and suites relate perfectly to the traditional architecture of the buildings. From the pool, you can enjoy a broad vista of the desert landscape.
