Desert Escapes

A source of inspiration for artists and writers for centuries, the desert is now home to some of the world's most extraordinary accommodations. Despite the extreme environment and limited resources, architects and designers have found ways to meet the challenges of the desert to create remarkable retreats that immerse their guests in a sublime environment.

With beautiful photographs and text that bring the environment to life, this book offers a journey to forty exceptional places across the world's deserts, from the Sahara to the American Sonoran. It also provides an opportunity to discover the activities on site: camel trekking through the dunes, a hot air balloon ride, nature walks with guides or stargazing under some of the darkest skies in the world.
