A 50-minute drive from Dubai International Airport. The majestic mountains, as well as some of the oldest archaeological sites of Arabia are only a few kilometres away. The drive to the hotel is simply breathtaking. Studded with sandy beaches and clear blue waters, it is certainly one of the most scenic roads in the U.A.E.. Yet, it is only a prelude of what is to come.
