HOTELS

“Carry memories, leaving footprints in the sands of time.” Away from the city noise and deep into the heart of the desert, Al Faya Retreat offers guests the opportunity to explore the true beauty of the Mlieha region which was nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Mleiha is home to a number of significant sites, including Bronze Age tombs, historical caves and pre-Islamic forts. A wealth of fascinating artefacts, from camel skeletons to pottery and iron tools have been discovered here, with many on display in the outstanding Mleiha Archaeological Centre. The foothills of sandy mountains play host to one of the region’s most unique hotels. Al Faya Retreat rises out of the enchanting dunes that surround it, offering a boutique experience like no other. Take the footpath of the desert dwellers and experience the true culture and meaning of being an authentic Arab nomad with the desert dwellers known as the Bedouin.
