Anantara Qasr al Sarab Desert Resort

Staff were fantastic and so welcoming, dining options brilliant, a true oasis in the desert, wonderful for celebrating special occasions - we chose this beautiful location to celebrate a birthday and to propose. We are excited to already book our next stay because of how special we were made to feel and celebrated.

The resort itself is beautiful, a good balance of tasteful design and opulence whilst retaining warmth and comfort. There is a great variety of amenities, facilities and activities. All the staff are super attentive, welcoming and professional and unlike most of the UAE, you can chat with all the staff as equals - nobody is shy or nervous. The rooms are brilliant with well-stocked bathrooms.

I just had the most extraordinary experience at Qasr Al Sarab, and I can't contain my enthusiasm! Nestled in the heart of the Liwa Desert, this place is nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I had stepped into another world—one where the golden dunes stretch endlessly, shifting colors with the sun, and the silence of the desert brings a sense of deep tranquility. The setting itself is breathtaking. Standing atop the dunes, watching the sun dip below the horizon, I was mesmerized. The desert’s vastness, combined with the sheer beauty of the resort, made every moment feel surreal. The architecture blends seamlessly with the surroundings, giving the impression of a timeless oasis rising from the sand. But what stood out the most was the night sky. With no city lights around, the stars felt closer than ever, creating a celestial spectacle I’ll never forget. The hospitality was exceptional. From the warm welcome to the incredible cuisine, every detail was thoughtfully curated to provide an authentic yet luxurious experience. Sitting around a fire under the desert sky, enjoying traditional Emirati flavors, I felt completely immersed in the spirit of the place. Qasr Al Sarab is more than just a resort—it’s an experience that awakens the senses and leaves an imprint on the soul. I can’t wait to return, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly unparalleled escape into the desert’s magic!

I liked that is was truly in the desert and remote which made the experience magical. What made it special was the staff. I lost my mobile phone during a dune buggy ride and when I thought all was lost, dune guide Tabish and security Bisal went into the desert the next morning and found it! It was a miracle! Thank you so much for your dedication and care shown to your guests.
