Cuarto Vacío de Abu Dabi, el entorno más espectacular

Qasr Al Sarab by Anantara is located in the so-called Empty Quarter of Abu Dhabi, a spectacular setting that provides the necessary mystique to offer guests a unique experience. This area spans 650,000 square kilometers, situated in southeastern Saudi Arabia, with smaller portions in Yemen, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates. To add more adventures to this site, one can explore Tel Moreeb, known as the Fearsome Mountain. This dune stands over 300 meters high with a 50° incline, where experienced cyclists and drivers compete to reach the summit during the Moreeb Hill Climb event.

In addition to the aforementioned hotel, this environment is also known thanks to experiences in other luxurious hotels like Tilal Liwa, where the most modern amenities can be found amidst this vast desert. This resort offers a variety of activities with impressive restaurants, an outdoor pool with stunning views of the dunes, and a range of desert activities for all ages. Leisure facilities include the Body & Soul Recreation Club, a gym, and a pool overlooking the Liwa dunes and the vast desert that stretches beyond.
