An oasis deep in the desert. An escape from busy life. Good swimmimg pool and nice ambience. Not very expensive.
This is my favorite place to take visitors for a sunset drive out of the city, with a meal or shisha on the Al Sarab Rooftop Lounge. There is a fantastic restaurant selection. Spend the day at the pools overlooking the desert dunes. Friends and family are always impressed with the beauty of the Arabian architecture. I love this place.
Absolutely amazing place in the heart of the desert! It is a good place to go with the family and friends for just a few days. Be sure that you don’t miss the evening show!
Enjoy!
This place is truly a miracle in the middle of desert. Takes around 50 minutes by drive from Dubai city centre. The Resort is Arabian style design with lovely restaurants and outdoor pool. Their Friday brunch is lovely with lots of outdoor activities for kids including camel and pony rides. Overall nice place to visit during winters, but summer is definitely not going to be pleasant unless you decide to stay insdie.

the swimming pools are simply great, the mood and beautiful architecture of Morocco's style villas.

We had lunch at the Italian restaurant and then coffee at the roof top. Both food and service were excellent. And the place is just amazing. I recommend it with no doubt. Sunsets on the roof top are breath taking!
We had a wonderful time here on New Year day 2018. It is situated far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, peaceful and serene. We went there for brunch, and were happy with the spread . They even had a dedicated kids menu, which is not found generally in other places. Our little one had a nice time in the kids area, playing, coloring n making new friends. I would definitely recommend this place to people looking for ideal brunch place or even to stay for the night

Must visit. Stylish and cream of the crop. Value for money. Make sure a full day is spent here. The staff are polite and helpful!! My visit was a success!!
OMG!! What a beautiful place this is, an absolute treat to the eyes. Its located in the middle of the dessert and few of the rooms have a dessert view. The service is amazing. Rooms are spacious. Had a super time there.
Nice location and structure. Famous place for Motorbiking and Horse Riding sport around. Also, cycling track is nearby. The restaurant got some good choices of refreshments but the food (Arabic cosine is not that much).
This place is amazing, unbelievable sunset and great atmosphere. We went to Al Sarab Rooftop Lounge. The manager allows to sit even the place was not open yet. Staff are very kind, food was delicious and the drinks are excellent. Definitely is a place to come back in another visit to Dubai.
Nice place , good food and reasonable prices at Al Forsan restaurant.
Although Aladdin Children's Club only had one attendant for almost 11 kids... not a safe practice
Fantastic place! The staff are amazing pamper to your every need. Cool drink on arrival while you wait to book in. The swimming pools are awesome. While you are in the pool, they bring round free ice lollies and water melon on sticks. Just as you think it's getting too hot, they bring round ice cool flannels to cool you down. The rooms are spotlessly clean and the beds are so comfy. They cater for your every need in the rooms and around the pool. I can't thank the staff enough - especially Arnie - thank you Arnie for taking good care of us.
