A majestic setting on top of a hill, surrounded by dessert, makes this Marriott somewhere very special indeed. The pool area takes full advantage of the setting, with loungers surrounded by a perimeter of greenery, looking onto the breathtaking arid mountainscape. The hotel’s public rooms have been designed to evoke this atmosphere, not least its traditional Bedouin tent where you can eat BBQ food, a lantern-lit inner courtyard and restaurants serving Arabic specialities. Bedrooms have been decorated in a calm and neutral international style – be sure to request one that looks onto the desert. And there’s a spa for a rejuvenating Turkish Bath.
