Things to do in Azraq

  1. Handicraft Workshop

    The former British military hospital in south Azraq has recently been renovated by the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) as a base from which to explore the Eastern Desert. It’s a nostalgic lodge with a 1940s colonial feel. The lodge is also home to a small handicraftworkshop where women from the local community sell silk screens, ostrich-egg carvings and traditional textiles.

  2. Azraq Palace Restaurant

    This is the best place to eat in town, which is why you’re likely to share the restaurant with busloads of tourists taking a break from their desert-castle excursion. The lunch buffet will fill your stomach to the brim, and the cold beer on offer will make your parched throat a distant memory.
