The resort is surrounded by huge ochre coloured dunes on both sides and a large valley/wadi offers truly amazing views.

Archaeological research has identified human habitation in the area surrounding Qasr Al Sarab dating back 9,000 years ago. The resort is about a 90 minute drive from Abu Dhabi city and the international airport.

A range of experiences allow guests to immerse themselves in local culture and learn a little about the area and the people who used to live here (there are still Bedouins in the Liwa desert!). From star gazing, to archery, camel riding, early morning desert walks and desert discovery to dinner in a Bedouin tent. Against a backdrop of vast dunes enjoy Emirati cuisine in a traditional (and authentic) Bedouin tent.

Qasr Al Sarab offers a range of rooms and villas, many with beautiful private pools, terraces and all with amazing views of the dunes (the dune nearby is 60m high!) and of course the valley and watering hole. The resort also has large meeting facilities with a ballroom that seats 250 people comfortably. Wi-Fi is available throughout the resort, tennis courts etc.
