relax with a session at the hotel’s steam room

GET A PREMIER ROOM AND THREE-COURSE

Where better to top up your summer tan than
on the sands of The Oberoi Beach Resort,
Al Zorah in Ajman? It’s one of the most
perfect places to head when city life gets too
much. Over the summer you can stay in a
luxurious premier room with a private terrace
overlooking the sea and enjoy a three-course
dinner at either the resort’s Vinesse or
Aquario restaurants for a set price.

SAVE WHEN YOU STAY LONGER IN MUSCAT
Is a weekend really long enough to explore
the wonders of Oman’s capital city? If you
fancy hanging around a bit longer than one
night, you can make a tidy saving of ten
percent on the room rate when you book for
two consecutive nights at this swanky hotel,
which is just a short drive from the city’s
pristine beaches. It’s also in close reach of
landmarks such as the Royal Opera House
and has top facilities such as the excellent O
Sole Mio restaurant.

Muscat, Oman (+968 2448 7777).

SLEEP IN THE DESERT AND GO DUNE-BASHING
One of the UAE’s unique attractions is
Bedouin-style desert camping, and the
Bedouin Oasis Desert Camp is (clearly)
offering just that. A range of tents will be
available, from an authentic igloo-style tent
for two, to an air-conditioned space with a
Àreplace. If you’re up for some dune-bashing
action and sleeping under a glittering night
sky, along with a barbecue spread for dinner
in the desert, then you can’t go wrong with
this exclusive retreat in Ras Al Khaimah.
From Dhs750. Ongoing. The Bedouin Oasis,
Ras Al Khaimah (55 228 4984).

SEE TWO SIDES OF OMAN AND GET DISCOUNTS
True, you might be tempted to get on a plane
for this one, but if you book to stay at the
mountaintop Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar
Resort and the Al Baleed Resort Salalah by
Anantara you’ll receive 25 percent off the
best Áexible rates for a room or villa at both
resorts, a daily buffet for two and 20 percent
off treatments at the Anantara Spa. Both
destinations are superb in their own right,
from the unbeatable views from Oman’s Jebel
Akhdar mountain range to the beachfront
location in Salalah, which will be cool and lush
during the Khareef season (until September).
