Staycation Review: Anantara Qasr Al Sarab, Abu Dhabi
If you've ever fantasised about getting a proper break from the chaos of city life and disappearing into the desert, let us point you in the direction of Anantara Qasr Al Sarab. The Setting Tucked away in the heart of the Empty Quarter, which is the world's largest sand desert, this resort is as remote and magical as it gets. After a few hours on the road from Abu Dhabi, you'll find yourself surrounded by endless dunes, where the only thing you'll hear is the birds resort itself feels like something out of a movie. Think rustic courtyards, Arabian lanterns, and private terraces that open up to nothing but rolling sand as far as the eye can see. No traffic, no emails, no deadlines—just sun, sand, and pure peace. The Room We checked into a one-bedroom pool villa, and honestly, we could've happily stayed in there the entire trip. With a private pool, a sun-drenched terrace with a cabana, and interiors that blend Bedouin charm with five-star luxury, it was its own little slice of paradise. Morning dips, sunset views, and the total privacy really transports you into your own world. The Food & Drink When it comes to dining, the food is as amazing as you'd expect. Whether you're having breakfast with a view of the dunes, or enjoying a candlelit dinner under the stars, the setting does half the work. The new Mediterranean restaurant Amanie is a must visit for either lunch or dinner and Suhail served up a seriously good steak alongside panoramic desert views. You can also arrange private dining right by your villa, just you, a chef, and the quiet hush of the desert. The Activities Even though the villa was heaven, we couldn't resist exploring a little, so we tried the Polaris dune buggy experience. Picture flying over huge golden dunes with the wind in your face, it was thrilling, wild and an unforgettable way to explore the desert. If that kind of adrenaline rush doesn't seem like something you'd fancy, there are lots of activity options to choose from that are a little bit slower paced, like camel trekking, horseriding, or archery. For the night owls, these activities can be done under the cover of darkness too. To balance things out, we booked a couples massage at the Anantara Spa, and let's just say: bliss. The spa has a serene spot in the resort, and from the moment we walked in, everything slowed down. The treatment room is looking directly onto the dunes too, so you can stare out and drift into a desert-induced daydream. The Experience Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, an off-grid adventure, or just a serious detox from the city buzz, Anantara Qasr Al Sarab is a great choice. This isn't just a stay it's a proper escape. And trust us, once you're out there, you'll forget the city even exists. What to Pack Suncream, swimwear and a good book. What's On the Bill They currently have some amazing summer staycation offers and you can stay from Dhs1,095. The Final Say What's On Verdict: 'Can we move in?' The Deets Location: Empty Quarter, Abu Dhabi Check-in/Check-out: 3pm / 12pm Contact: (02) 886 2088 | @anantaraqasralsarab Booking tip: Check the Anantara website for offers Images: Provided > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in

Wizz Air to resume flights from Poland's Modlin Airport
London-listed low-cost carrier Wizz Air will resume flights from Warsaw Modlin Airport in central Poland after a 13-year hiatus, with plans to deploy two aircraft there from December, operations officer Roland Tischner said on Friday. Wizz Air said on Monday it was closing down its Abu Dhabi operation, giving it the ability to relocate capacity throughout Europe. The airline had shifted its operations to Warsaw's Chopin Airport in 2012 after a runway failure at Modlin. "After successful negotiation and discussion and agreement with the management of Modlin Airport, we are going to deploy two new Airbus neo planes to Modlin airport starting in December," Tischner said at a conference in Warsaw. The new routes will serve eight countries and connect Modlin with Athens, Sardinia's Alghero, Barcelona, Bergamo, Bergen, Brindisi, Chisinau, Malta, Palermo, Paphos and Sofia. Last week Ryanair announced plans to treble the number of passengers it serves at Modlin airport to more than 5 million a year by 2030.

Mleiha park invites public to connect with history, nature
Mleiha National Park, established to safeguard one of the Arabian Peninsula's most archaeologically rich landscapes, invites curious minds to discover 210,000 years of human history; from the Stone Age hunters who first roamed Arabia to the sophisticated traders of a lost pre-Islamic kingdom. With a range of educational experiences designed to bring history and ancient heritage to the forefront, the park serves as a perfect escape for those interested in expanding their historical knowledge and wonder; whether it's families and the general public, academic institutions, or cultural enthusiasts and history buffs; allowing them to come closer to history. Omar Jasim Al Ali, Manager of Mleiha & Strategic Projects said, 'This ancient landscape is an archive of human resilience and transcends tourism by providing a living and experiential destination where visitors engage authentically with the UAE's deepest roots. We invite the public to connect with history and nature through hands-on learning and storytelling that celebrates our land's role in shaping the course of civilisation. Mleiha preserves the UAE's past not just in books, but in the very land beneath our feet, offering every visitor the unique chance to understand this region's legacy and literally walk in the footsteps of those who shaped it millennia ago.' Established through the visionary leadership of His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah; and developed and operated by the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq), Mleiha National Park safeguards over 34.2 square kilometres of pristine and awe inspiring landscapes, a gateway to Arabia's ancient legacy, grounded in decades of meticulous research and findings led by the Sharjah Archaeology Authority (SAA). Revealing Mleiha's extraordinary scientific value, this area has been excavated since 1973 with collaborative efforts from leading archaeologists from around the world. Through the years SAA has announced discoveries including Stone Age tools from Jebel Faya documenting ancient human migration, a monumental 4,500-year-old Umm an-Nar tomb preserved intact beneath the park's Archaeological Centre, along with compelling evidence of a powerful trading kingdom that thrived between the 3rd century BCE and 3rd century CE, as referenced in Greco-Roman texts. Among the most striking finds is Arabia's only known ritual horse-and-camel burial, a testament to the site's unique cultural practices. Mediterranean amphorae, locally minted coins inspired by those of Alexander the great and his Seleucid successors' currency, and South Arabian inscriptions further attest to Mleiha's role as an ancient cosmopolitan hub. Through a unique partnership; with Shurooq delivering world-class visitor experiences and sustainable infrastructure and SAA guaranteeing scientific integrity; this makes Mleiha a global model for heritage tourism. Aligned with the park's core ethos of history and education, the Mleiha Archaeological Centre allows visitors to encounter authentic and priceless artifacts. These include a wide range of arrowheads from the stone and iron ages, ancient coins; including those modeled after Alexander the Great's currency; Rhodian wine jars, and ancient inscriptions. With the addition of interactive displays and multimedia presentations, the centre brings the past vividly to life proving an experience that goes far beyond the museum walls. Mleiha also offers a diverse array of educational activities and adventures that transport visitors back in time, making history accessible and engaging for all age groups. Programmes like the 'Fossil Fun Expedition' invite young explorers to become paleontologists for the day, crafting fossil casts from real finds and learning about ancient seabeds and the creatures that once inhabited them. Interactive workshops such as 'Sounds of the Past' allow participants to experience ancient tool-making techniques, while the Valley of the Caves Tour and Jebel Buhais Tour immerse visitors in the daily life and burial practices of Neolithic and Iron Age communities. For those fascinated by the wonders of the universe, the Space Camp workshop offers an engaging introduction to astronomy and observational techniques through hands-on activities, where participants use high-powered telescopes to explore celestial objects in the night sky.
