I ARABIAN RESORT
Rub’ Al Khali Desert Resort
By: x-architects A luxury desert hideaway resort located in the Arabian Peninsula’s empty quarter in Saudi Arabia, known as Rub’ Al Khali sounds like the ultimate escape. However, when you’re dealing with the world’s largest sand sea, holding about half as much sand as the Sahara Desert and the terrain is covered with 250-meter-high reddish orange sand dunes, interrupted only by white salt flat called ‘Sabkhas’, its takes a great deal of ingenuity to turn this ultraharsh environment into a luxury retreat.
