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 />
