Think summer in the Abu Dhabi desert sounds like a wild idea? Well, think again! While the sun might be blazing, there’s a whole other side to its Empty Quarter desert, which will make your getaway even more unforgettable.
Cooler Evenings and Luxury Getaways
Yes, temperatures can soar can but evenings are a whole different story; they are cool, calm and just enchanting. As golden dunes stretch to the horizon, you will find peace and privacy at a luxury property like Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara, tucked away from the city bustle. Stay in a dreamy pool villa, soak in the stillness under a blanket of stars, and just let the desert do its slow magic on you.
Special Night Activities
When the sun sets, the desert wakes up in the most unexpected ways, offering unique things to do and see in Abu Dhabi. Thanks to clear skies and no city lights, stargazing here is next level. Some resorts even offer guided star talks, camel rides, fat biking and archery all under moonlight or a star-filled canopy above. And yes, watching a movie under the stars with popcorn in hand is totally possible as well!
Never a Bad Time for Spa Bliss
When it gets too hot outside, that’s your cue to step into the air-conditioned comfort of a world-class Abu Dhabi spa at your desert resort. From a Moroccan hammam to argan oil massages and rose body rituals, you will be pampered from head to toe. Some properties offer mindfulness sessions guided by international yogis and, for something truly refreshing, even desert ice baths!

Amazing Summer Packages
Here’s another bonus… summer means some seriously amazing resort packages as well. Resorts offer luxury stays where you can look forward to sunset swims, guided stargazing and night activities, along with resort credits, room upgrades, and kids staying and dining for free. With fewer guests and exclusive experiences, it’s the perfect time to plan that desert dream holiday, but do so ASAP!
