Luxury hotel will be built in the desert of Saudi Arabia

In the coming years, a new amazing hotel will begin to receive travelers in Saudi Arabia. It will be built right among the endless expanses of the desert. The exact date of the hotel opening is still unknown; the construction started on the territory of the Al-Ula oasis. The new hotel will be named Sharaan, in the honor of the surrounding nature reserve.

A significant part of the nature reserve is occupied by the desert; the hotel is to be built in accordance with beautiful regional traditions. It will be a large agglomerate of many small buildings separated by spacious courtyards. An important feature of the hotel will be its luxurious interior, made from stylish furniture and decorated with works of art created by local craftsmen.

The project's chief architect is Jean Nouvel, who says that he was inspired by the Louvre in Abu Dhabi to create the hotel's luxurious interiors. The new hotel in the Al-Ula area will surely attract the attention of travelers who dream of hiding away from the noisy metropolises. Here nothing can disturb their peace, since the hotel is surrounded by many kilometers of the desert stretches.

Despite such a specific location, the fashionable hotel will be distinguished by a full range of amenities and huge set of additional services. It will house restaurants and bars of various specializations; it is planned to equip a garden with swimming pools in the adjacent territory of the hotel. Every day, guests will be offered fascinating excursions in the desert, during which you can admire the most beautiful sand dunes, and also visit the Bedouin settlements.

It is planned to build here a resort system with several hotels, many restaurants and shops, sports and entertainment centers. The resort system name is "Red Sea" and it will cover several natural landscapes. Travelers will have the opportunity to choose their place to stay either on the island, or in a beautiful mountainous region, or in the desert. It is also worth noting that the resort is planning to build its own airport.
