New Years at Qasr Al Sarab resort

By the time we finally got around to arranging anything for New Years eve everywhere was booked.  Originally we thought we would stay in a hotel in Dubai and watch the fireworks there but everything was booked.  One hotel did provide some momentary amusement by asking what date did New Years eve was this year but still the same result, no vacancies. 

So we decided if we couldn't go to Dubai we would go as far away from Dubai and the crowds as possible so we booked two nights at Qasr al Sarab in the Empty Quarter.

It is just the most stunning location.  Here is a short video of the drive into Qasr al Sarab

New Years eve was a Gala dinner planned with fire shows and fabulous fireworks.  We all had a great time.  Here we are with our lovely guest Helga.
