Rough Guide "On the edge of Dubai, around twenty minutes’ drive from the city centre, the Desert Palm is a pleasantly laid-back suburban bolthole."

Our flight is a full one and we’re squeezed in next to the quintessential package holiday family – exactly the sort of travellers our friends had told us would be heading there, and whom I was hoping to avoid.

Weekends at Barasti can be especially raucous, so if you’re travelling with your family, request a room as far away from the noise as possible or you’ll be awake listening to revellers right up until the early hours of the morning.
