“This desert resort evokes a fortified Arab village, a secluded escape within the Al Marmoom Reserve, near Al Qudra lakes. Expect unique experiences, from archery to falconry, and diverse dining that includes the authentic Al Hadheerah restaurant, but know that the remote location also means higher prices. The luxurious accommodations, coupled with an award-winning spa, mean it's well-suited for families craving both adventure and relaxation.”
