The ultimate National Day family trip! Desert Star Hotel lets kids play until they don’t want to go home

Where to take the kids during the National Day holiday? Stop squeezing into Disneyland! The Desert Star Hotel is the real family travel treasure, with kids saying “It’s even more fun than Disneyland”🍃!

The desert view rooms come with their own sand digging area, a true paradise for kids. As soon as they enter the room, they grab a little shovel and become “desert architects,” fully focused～

Super rich family activities: do desert yoga together during the day, ride camels around the desert, watch the stunning sunset in the evening, and enjoy stargazing at night💫. The same starry sky as Dubai is right before your eyes, creating an amazing atmosphere!

The main building’s 360° panoramic restaurant is perfect for photos, with effortless Instagram-worthy shots; the lively bonfire party at night has a stronger desert vibe than Universal Studios, immersing the whole family in joy～
