Set
on the verdant island haven of Sir Bani Yas, just
off the coast of Abu Dhabi, housing the once-private
Royal Nature Reserve of His Highness Sheikh Zayed
Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Desert Islands Resort &
Spa offers intrepid travellers an unforgettable
island escape in the glittering waters of the Arabian
Gulf.
Long
known as a unique sanctuary of natural beauty, the
island of Sir Bani Yas is unlike any other destination
in the Arabian Gulf. Indigenous Arabian wildlife
from the Arabian National Park roam next to turquoise
island waters, the result of a successful breeding
programme undertaken by His Highness Sheikh Zayed
Bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Traces of seafaring folklore
from bygone days of sultans and explorers surround
the island in exotic mystery. Stone Age ruins dot
the island’s rugged landscape, footprints
of previously undiscovered civilizations.
