QASR AL SARAB Desert Resort by Anantara has launched a challenge for its most adventurous guests, to conquer its nearby 180-metre high dune in a bid to not only be crowned the champion of the dune, but to support Operation Smile UAE too.
A leader board will be displayed on the resort’s Facebook page to keep track of the participant’s performance. The ultimate winners (both male and female) will be crowned on June 4 and awarded a three-night stay at Per Aquum Niyama in Maldives or at Anantara Phuket Villas in Thailand, courtesy of Minor Hotel Group.The challenge is priced at Dh100 ($27.2) per attempt (subject to taxes), of which Dh25 ($6.8) will be donated to Operation Smile UAE – the local arm of the international children’s charity committed to saving lives and allowing children with cleft palates to smile properly for the first time. Any returning guests who wish to defend their title can do so with a 50 per cent discount on their second attempt. The competition is open to all guests staying at the resort as well as day visitors.
