In keeping with the local heritage, each living space features classic thatched roofs, reflecting traditional basket weaving elements. Rooms have been designed with colourful motifs reflecting the jubilant blues of the sea and the sandy tones of the desert, inspired by Al Wakra’s history as a pearl diving and fishing village.
