If you want to get away from the city and enjoy the desert but do not wish to forsake the comforts of a luxurious hotel, there is a new hotel for you to explore. About an hour’s drive from Muscat, Oman, set in the Wadi al Abiyad desert, you will find Dunes by Al Nahda. This is a collection of 50 ultra luxury airconditioned tents with their own bathrooms and separate sitting areas. Comlpete with its own international restaurant, kids play area and a wellness spa and a 250 person banquet hall, this is no hiking camper’s dig. This is luxury in a desert setting.
Dune bashing, quad biking, sand surfing, camel riding and a 9-hole golf course are all on offer. And when you are there do not miss the Hot Sand treatment at the spa – it is supposed to be a signature wellness therapy which has its origins in ancient Egypt.
