Bedouin Sun

Grab yourself a taste of Bedouin life at this oh-so-sleek townhouse, perched in the exclusive Mina Al Arabin residential complex of Ras Al Khaima city.

Kick off your sandy shoes in the impressive double-height entrance lobby and pad across the cool marble floor into the main living space. Cool, crisp and contemporary, everywhere feels fresh and inviting. Monochrome Bedouin carpets remind you this home is firmly planted in the emirates and floor-to-ceiling terrace doors flood the space in natural daylight.

With bedrooms set out across the two floors, groups of friends or extended family will appreciate the added sense of space. And if you’re after some quiet time, you can always slope away to the secondary sitting room upstairs or the bedroom’s balcony to soak up the late afternoon rays.

When it’s time for a change of scene, the communal swimming pool at the heart of the complex should do very nicely. Or mosey over to the spa centre at the neighbouring five-star hotel – day passes are available for an additional fee. Want to up the ante? Then head to the hills for a hiking trip to Jebel Jais, the UAE’s highest mountain – the views are worth the climb. Or blaze a trail into Dubai – it's an easy drive away.
