Set beside an enormous saltwater lake, it’s hard to believe that you’re in the middle of the world’s largest sand deposit. It’s not only comfortable, it’s actually quite luxurious. The architecture, decoration and building materials are just as they would have been more than two thousand years ago.
You may ask how comfortable is it to live without electricity or modern telecommunications? The answer, surprisingly perhaps, is that it’s not only comfortable, it’s actually quite luxurious. There are bathrooms galore, with plenty of hot water and water pressure, but the real luxury of this hotel is the experience. No one needs to be convinced of the romance of dining by candlelight, but the experience of a bedroom and bathroom illuminated solely by dozens of candles is something few of us have encountered. Suddenly your skin looks radiant and you can forget about everything.
