Anantara Qasar Al Sarab Desert Resort

​Embracing the epic adventures of the Liwa Desert (its vistas are so cinemascopic they were used in the latest Star Wars movie), Qasr Al Sarab is a sun-soaked desert oasis with a host of outdoor pursuits that throw you headfirst into the mystic charms of the desert.

While the dining here isn't the main highlight, the activities really set this place apart, from the authentic (desert hikes, camel-rides and archery), to the more modern ("fat-biking" and sandboarding). And when you need a retreat from the heat, there's an array of ancient cultures to explore at the blissfullysoothing Anantara Spa.
