A truly outstanding luxury oasis in the desert. From the moment we arrived (and were greeted with delicious dates and coffee) to departure time, the resort’s outstanding staff made sure that our every need was met and beyond. The property is stunning. We travelled with our two young children, who were treated like rock stars by each and every member of the staff. We dined at Ninive and it was amazing, as were the poolside food and bev. The entire family delighted in the camel ride and falcon show and our own regret was not visiting this property sooner. We will be back.
