Get lost in the desert and truly escape it all this Ramadan... Rising up from the flame-coloured dunes of the Empty Quarter – the world’s largest sand desert – you’ll find Anantara Qasr Al Sarab, a resort that weaves tradition and tales of old through its secluded oasis. Moroccan hammams await, as do desert rose rituals, dining under desert skies, sandboarding down dunes, movies under the stars and camel trekking at sunrise. Expand your mind amidst the vastness of the desert with the Sanctum Desert Retreat, offering guests a three nights’ stay, alongside mindful desert walks, a stargazing ceremony, a sound healing sunset dinner with fire ceremony, a desert camp concert, Yoga Nidra, meditation and more.
