The undulating hills of the Al Wathba Desert have long attracted those in search of adventure and thrilling escapades. Whether underneath the warmth of the sun or the dazzling stars of those captivating pitch-black nights, it is here where travellers can reconnect with nature and leave the stresses and strains of city life behind.
Lost among the endless sand dunes and tranquil landscapes, sits the luxurious oasis of Al Wathba, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa. Here, guests are invited to immerse themselves in the splendour of the Arabian desert through a blend of exploration, cultural heritage and leisure. Placing families at the centre of the entertainment, little ones can take their first steps into the Bedouin way of life with a traditional camel ride or discover a pillar of Emirati culture at a falcon show. Next, guests can test their bow and arrow skills with a session of archery or tame the shifting sands on a surfboard with the exciting Desert Waves. For those seeking some adrenaline-pumping action, hop into a Polaris dune buggy with one of the hotel’s skilled marshals and master the tough terrain with a Desert Crawlers’ experience.
Adding to the magic, the Nojoomi Kids Club at Al Wathba ensures that the fun never stops for children. With an itinerary that is designed to entertain, engage and inspire, kids can enjoy a blend of creative, interactive and educational programmes in a safe and supervised environment. With every day showcasing a new theme, children can dive into arts and crafts, puzzles and painting as well as indulge their competitive sides with lively dance-offs, games, balloon relays and more. When it’s time to head outside, the kids’ club invites little ones to explore the desert on a friendly pony as well as offering an opportunity to learn about the constellations with a stargazing session.
Back on the property, slow things down at Al Wathba, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa and experience the pampered life, with a plethora of family-friendly treatments that encourage mum, dad and kids to unwind and build memories together. Feeling refreshed, cap the day off with a relaxing sunset desert walk, where guests can savour the serenity of the desert while learning about desert flora and fauna, before sipping a traditional Arabic coffee for that true authentic touch to the desert life.
