ARABIAN NIGHTS RESORT & SPA
Read moreNew, it's a desert resort, with 50 m² suites equipped to 5* standards, a large, beautiful swimming pool, a spa with several treatment cabins, a restaurant that goes to great lengths to please, and even - a rarity in the Sharqiya Sands - a bar with a liquor license! The highly professional staff offer a service that's as diligent as it is efficient. You can choose from a wide range of activities (quad biking, camel riding, glamping...) and in the evening, you can dream away by the fire to the sound of live music.
IBRA MOTEL
Read moreThe striking Art Deco-style facade, pierced by four wrought-iron balconies, marks the four rooms with urban views out of a total of sixteen. Inside, a salmon-colored lobby leads up to a staircase with a red and black balustrade. Comfortable rooms in a collector's seventies style, with occasional pieces of Tyrolean-painted furniture. Bathrooms range from walk-in showers to hallucinatory clawfoot tubs for cleanliness folded in three. All with great modesty.
ORIENTAL NIGHTS REST HOUSE
Read moreA white villa, its monumental staircase, the orchard behind, Route 23 in front - the scene is set! The first piece of good news is that this isn't an old building with wobbly air-conditioning units, but a detached house with a garden. Secondly, the rooms are ultra-correct, air-conditioned, with a window opening onto the foliage and a neon light for the complexion that is de rigueur in the Arab world. Kind and attentive welcome. On-site restaurant.
