Here at Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara we are proud to present our discerning guests with a signature blend of indulgences, Arabian hospitality and contemporary charm.

Nestled in the world's largest continuous sand desert, the Rub Al Khali, the resort reflects traditional Emirati hospitality, with rich design and architecture that pays homage to the region's traditions. The magnificent, towering dunes echo with stories of travellers and desert tribes that have roamed and settled here for centuries.
