Rooms and Suites

The rooms offered at this collection desert resort spa are genuinely private.

In addition, each room offers binoculars and art supplies like oil pastels, so if you feel inspired, you can sketch the scenery beside your temperature-controlled private pool.

While you may worry about amenities, inside each tent is a luxurious interior. Each features large beds, Arabian antiques, and plenty of seating. Each room also includes a marble bathroom with rainfall showers, soaking tubs, and Bulgari amenities.

If you need more space for a family, larger suites are available. For example, you can select a two-bedroom Royal Suite. This resort's presidential suite is called the Emirates Suite and features 3 bedrooms, servant's quarters, and a kitchen in a truly massive space.

The enormous suite is supposed to sleep 6 people easily, so larger families and groups can be comfortable. Children over 10 are also welcome in any room.

Any animal lover will love the gazelle and oryx that will walk right up to your suite or even inside if you forget to shut the doors.
