The architectural styles employed by the resort's village and hotels complement the breathtaking backdrop, employing age-old techniques developed by the Arabian, Nubian and Mediterranean civilizations that once flourished here.
Masterfully created by world renown architects such as Michael Graves, the town centre and individual hotels each take a slightly different creative angle on the region's rich cultural heritage. Muted tones perfectly complement the azure and taupe hues of the sea and desert while arresting architectural lines reflect the striking mountain skyline.
Here, the original temptation of smooth comforts blends with the timeless beauty of the surroundings to produce an ensemble unmatched anywhere in the world.
