Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara has launched a new 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.

Inspired by the ever popular and unique activities available at the resort, guests will be encouraged to challenge their fitness levels with a timed-climb of the dune, as part of an ongoing challenge they can track on the resort’s leader-board on Facebook. The ultimate winners (both male and female) will then be crowned on June 4th2015 and awarded a 3 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 AED 100* per attempt, of which AED 25 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.

Geared towards both local adventurers and international thrill-seekers, with the possibility of extending to a junior challenge in the future at Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort, as well as similar themed challenges in the other Anantara properties in Abu Dhabi - any returning guests who wish to defend their title can do so with a 50% discount on their second attempt, encouraging athleticism to reign supreme!
