Hotels in Dubai can basically be broken down into three categories: beach, city and desert. Visitors are so excited to experience the glamor of Dubai’s beaches and city center that they sometimes overlook the beautiful desert resorts that are just outside the city. These resorts provide a peaceful alternative to the hustle and bustle of Dubai, and give visitors a chance to take in the unique desert landscape. If your trip itinerary allows, we recommend planning a weekend in the desert at the end of your trip.
