Detailed Review
At first glimpse, Arabian Court is illusive … a mysterious dwelling that is disguised behind a sheltered oasis, protecting its inner beauty with a rich landscape of fountains, walkways and lush gardens. Crafted in the spirit of the Orient with dramatic architecture creating symmetry, guests arrive to discover a reflecting pool that draws the eye to the horizon and offers glimpses of the sea beyond.
The subtly angled entrance leads to the impressive grand gallery, the vertebrae of the Arabian Court, linking the two wings of the property and guiding guests to the charismatic guest rooms and suites, all of which face Palm Bay, and feature a private balcony or terrace.

"Annex to main Royal Mirage complex"
Royal Mirage, Arabian Court
By Vanessa Kaoukji
Architecturally the Arabian Court is the most stunning of the three hotels that make up the Royal Mirage in Dubai. On entering the hotel you are faced with a pool of water reflecting vast clay vases and beyond them is a view out to the sea. Its breathtaking and even if you are staying at the Palace or the Residence & Spa its worth a trip in here. The reception desk is around a corner or two so that the entrance doesn’t get cluttered up with people and luggage. This hotel has 170 rooms but feels very small, perhaps because it is so quite. It has only been open for 10 months and at the time of inspection the restaurants seemed quiet but I have since been informed that they are actually very popular. The Rooftop Bar, an open-air bar on the roof which is made up of domes and alcoves and is decked out with cushions, is a great place to have a drink. Rooms here have the individuality and luxury missing from The Palace. Larger rooms have enormous terraces with cushioned ledges and sun-loungers. In the bathrooms a large window above the bath looks out over the terrace to the sea beyond. The beauty of the Arabian Court is that you can enjoy the bustle of The Palace and retire to quiet luxury in the evening.
