Located in the central Sharjah Emirates, the rich cultural capital of the Middle East, Mysk Al Badayer Retreat lures its guests into the feeling of living like a sultan in an empire hemmed in by the golden sweeping dunes.  Showing the poetic, memorable, and strangely alluring side of the desert, this ancient Eastern Fairy-tale-like Arabian castle has won Luxury Lifestyle Awards for 3 remarkable years. In 2022, they have been deservedly rewarded for Best Luxury Desert Resort in UAE.

Surrounded by a picturesque desert, the welcoming 5-star retreat has offerings for any type of guest. It is comprised of tented and traditional home accommodation, with the tented accommodation being designed for glamorous camping (glamping). The oasis camp offers 31 air-conditioned rooms: 21 deluxe rooms and 10 tents. Every accommodation maintains elements of the Arabian culture and has all the modern amenities that the contemporary tourist may need. Shafik Alaaeddine, the General Manager says: “the general design of the room is reminiscent of caravanserais. It is an expression of traditional architecture, not cliché, yet maintaining elements of the Arabian culture.”  The rooms feature a refreshment center, coffee makers, smart TVs, free Wi-Fi, and 24-hour room service, and the bathrooms all have showers with calming rainfall showerheads. There are also private pools.

The retreat is known for mesmerizing sunrises and sunsets over the tumbling dunes.
