WORLD TRAVELLER X BAB AL SHAMS DESERT RESORT & SPA<br />
STAYCATION<br />
Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa<br />
Escape the city in favour of a luxurious desert break<br />
ROOMS AND SUITES<br />
Traditional Arabian design meets<br />
modern luxury at this spa resort,<br />
creating an enchanting balance in each<br />
of the 115 spacious yet cosy rooms and<br />
suites. With either desert, garden or pool<br />
vistas to wake up to, being surrounded<br />
by natural beauty is guaranteed. We<br />
say book a Deluxe Suite for some<br />
alfresco relaxation on the terrace with<br />
accompanying dune views.<br />
THE FOOD<br />
Foodies can embark on a culinary<br />
journey around the world, starting at<br />
Al Hadheerah for its authentic Middle<br />
Eastern cuisine and entertainment. The<br />
next evening, head to Masala for a true<br />
taste of India complete with a traditional<br />
live band. Lastly, stop by Le Dune for tasty<br />
Italian fare – and don’t miss watching the<br />
sun set over mezze and grills at Al Sarab<br />
Rooftop Lounge.<br />
THE ACTIVITIES<br />
As the weather cools down, make the<br />
most of the abundance of outdoor<br />
activities available here, including horse<br />
and camel riding, biking and falconry.<br />
Thrillseekers will rush to take part in<br />
the Desert Drive, an open-top 4x4 tour<br />
that traverses the dunes, giving you the<br />
chance to spot wildlife as you go. Those<br />
with a sensitive disposition, however, can<br />
decamp to Satori Spa for a back massage.<br />
