Sir Bani Yas Island, Abu Dhabi

Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island

Sir Bani Yas is the most coherent way to experience wildlife in the Arabian Peninsula — an island established as a nature reserve in the 1970s, home to giraffes, gazelles and Arabian oryx, minutes from the water.

Best season October to April. The Arabian summer (May to September) is climatically demanding; the cooler months offer comfortable temperatures for outdoor activities and beach time.

Liwa, Abu Dhabi

Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara

A fortress resort at the edge of the world's largest sand sea — the most considered way to experience the silence of the Empty Quarter without losing your bearings.

Best season October to March: daytime temperatures between 20 and 30 degrees, cool nights, optimal stargazing. From May to September the Empty Quarter is too hot for most guests to engage with activities outside air-conditioned spaces.
