Arabian Nights Village: Dreams come true

Al Khatem plot, the size of 12 professional football pitches, deep in Abu Dhabi’s heritage heartland, Arabian Nights Village is expected to be a leading international draw for visitors coming to the emirate.

Nestled among stunning dunes, Arabian Nights Village harnesses the soul and essence of old Arabia.

Sheikh Sultan bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, Chairman of Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi) has officially opened the emirate’s first-of-its-kind Arabian Nights Village desert retreat, delivering a new dimension to the destination’s overall ‘culture-tourism’ proposition.

 

 

Operating day safaris and overnight excursions - which both include transfers to and from the Village from Abu Dhabi - the expansive resort also houses an oasis style pool, with stunning vistas of the desertscapes in the day and the unobstructed star-lit sky at night, as well as the indoor-outdoor traditional ‘Al Maqam’ restaurant, which means ‘The Gathering Place’, and a souk selling local handmade crafts.

The jewel in Arabian Night Village’s suite offering is the Al Manhal Fort Tower, with three presidential bedrooms, each with opulent bathrooms, and lavish interiors elegantly furnished with rich fabrics, natural materials and authentic design details.
