THE BEDOUIN EXPERIENCE AT THE EMIRATES PALACE
Pastel shades of desert sands spread out in front of you while you sip on the finest Arabian coffee and enjoy dates under the shade of a Bedouin tent. The most famous nomadic tribe from the Middle East has inspired this experience at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi—a meal in a Bedouin tent in the middle of the desert, complete with a camel ride. This intensely luxurious property, known for its regal hospitality and palatial suites, woos guests with the most generous of Bedouin traditions. Catch a sunset over tea along with a camel ride through the pristine sandy beaches of the Arabian Gulf. (emiratespalace.ae)
