From private poolside relaxation and outdoor barbecues to desert adventures and stargazing, discover a different way to enjoy the UAE's cooler months
Less than an hour from Dubai and Sharjah international airports, Moon Sharjah Retreat is ideal for a spontaneous weekend getaway
Imagine waking up to endless desert views, spending lazy afternoons beside your private pool and watching the stars emerge over the dunes as the evening cools. With the arrival of the UAE's much-awaited winter season, these simple pleasures return as Moon Sharjah Retreat reopens, inviting couples, families and friends to escape the city and experience the magic of the Mleiha desert.
Surrounded by the striking landscapes of Fossil Rock and the Al Faya Mountains, Moon Sharjah Retreat offers a secluded hideaway where the beauty of the desert takes centre stage. With 16 premium domes and private tents, the retreat combines the adventure of sleeping close to nature with the comforts of a contemporary getaway. Each accommodation comes with a private terrace and barbecue facilities, while selected units feature private temperature-controlled pools, perfect for enjoying the sunshine or unwinding beneath the stars.
Whether it is a romantic weekend for two, a family adventure or a few days of doing absolutely nothing, Moon Sharjah Retreat offers guests the freedom to enjoy the desert at their own pace. Days can begin with a leisurely breakfast overlooking the dunes, followed by a refreshing dip in the pool or simply relaxing with a book as the desert landscape stretches into the distance.
For those who prefer a little more excitement, the surrounding Mleiha region is rich with opportunities for discovery. From thrilling dune drives and desert excursions to exploring ancient archaeological sites such as Wadi al-Kuhuf (Valley of the Caves) the area's remarkable geological formations, there is plenty to experience beyond the retreat. Adventure enthusiasts can also discover activities such as paragliding in the wider destination, while nature lovers can immerse themselves in the dramatic scenery that makes this part of Sharjah so special.
As daylight fades, the desert reveals its most enchanting side. Guests can enjoy a private barbecue on their terrace, gather around the communal bonfire or settle in for an outdoor movie beneath the open sky. With minimal city lights to interrupt the view, stargazing becomes an experience in itself, offering a chance to admire the night sky through telescopes and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Commenting on the seasonal reopening, Ahmed Ben Zaied, Cluster General Manager, Sharjah Retreats, said,“Winter is when the desert truly comes alive, and Moon Sharjah Retreat offers the perfect setting to enjoy this beautiful time of year. Whether it is a quiet morning overlooking the dunes, an afternoon exploring Mleiha or an evening spent with loved ones beneath the stars, we want guests to enjoy the freedom to slow down and make every moment their own. It is these simple, meaningful experiences that make a desert escape so memorable.”
Located approximately 40–45 minutes from Sharjah International Airport and 50 minutes from Dubai International Airport, Moon Sharjah Retreat makes it easy to trade the city's busy streets for wide-open spaces, fresh air and a welcome change of scenery.
