Our stay at The Ritz-Carlton Al Wadi Desert was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived to the time we left, we were treated with exceptional care. The peaceful atmosphere and the warm, approachable, and welcoming staff made our experience even more special. Dinner at The Farmhouse was absolutely delightful—they went above and beyond by decorating our table with roses and an anniversary card. Special thanks to Juliana and Riya for making our night extra memorable! A heartfelt shoutout as well to Rica, Prasad, Pablo, the team at Kaheela and Diwany, and Micah, who all made us feel at home. I’m already planning to return with my family for my birthday in February. It’s worth every penny and every moment. Thank you so much!
