Just returned from a 3 night stay in Qasr Al Sarab and had a FABULOUS time! We stayed in room 303, which was a deluxe terrace room, and we were quite shocked when we saw the size of the terrace! It was MASSIVE. With sun loungers and sofas and two tables, great for hanging out after our daughter went to... More

Yesterday we arrived at Qasr al Sarab ("Mirage Palace" when translated from Arabic into English.) The place is literally in the middle of the Al Liwa desert (part of Abu Dhabi), 300 kilometers from Dubai. It was built around the desert retreat of the Sheikh of Abu Dhabi but now is used as a luxury desert retreat. And if you... More

I shan't repeat all the wonderful things that have been written about Qasr Al Sarab... We were there at the beginning of May. It was very hot, very quiet, and very magical. Something that hasn't been highlighted in existing reviews is the quality of the gym and its staff, so I thought I'd write a few lines about that: the... More

We went on a family outing (much needed) 2nd weekend in May. Coming from Dubai, this was some drive, but definitely worth it. The view as soon as you exit AD and move towards Hameem,, is amazing. The dunes, are like nothing else I have seen after now 4 years in the UAE. The drive towards QAS was stunning,, like... More

We, a party of 5, stayed at the QAS for a 3 night stay in a stunning 2 bedroom villa and in a 1 bedroom villa, both connected to each other. The villas and the views were stunning. Actually, this was our second visit and it was as good as the first one: simply wonderful. Everything has been said about... More

We needed to run away from work and life- and needed an usual, NOT a traditional beach and sand, holiday. We wanted sun and silence. The location of the hotel is fantastic. ( it is easy to find and to drive too if a little boring). The rooms are excellent we had a balcony room to the right of the... More

This was my second visit to qasr al sarab and I was just as impressed by my surroundings as I was on my first trip. The drive through the dunes really was spectacular. My villa was ready when I arrived at 10am,just what you need after an overnight flight. The villa was beautiful, the layout was very similar to the... More

We live in Dubai so have been lucky enough to visit Bab Al Shams (another desert resort) but nothing could of prepared us for the isolation, dramatic scenery and luxury of Qasr Al Sarab. It is worth trying arrive during the daytime as the final turning off the main road can be tricky to find, and friends had warned us... More

We stayed at Qasr al Sarab for 3 nights for Easter. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. Plus : - the location : you 're in the middle of the desert with surrounded by only dunes . It's very peaceful and conducive to reflection & retreat. - the premises : the hotel is understated in warm desert colours. The pool... More
