Am sarit speriata… Read More Abu Dhabi – apus dupa furtuna
N-aș fi putut face o alegere mai inspirată decât Telal Resort pentru a petrece o noapte în inima deșertului. În ciuda condițiilor restrictive, întotdeauna am avut o fascinație pentru deșert, pentru grandoarea și singurătatea acestuia, dar mai ales pentru stilul de viață nomad, specific deșertului.

I could not have made a better choice than Telal Resort for spending a night in the middle of the desert.
