Any thoughts?

You mean the Ritz JBR down south? If so, it’s definitely not in the desert. It’s on the beach in the middle of the expat area

Theres the Ritz Carlton on SZR and then the one in the Marina. Do you mean the latter? It's most definitely not in the desert

It's called the Ritz Ras Al Khaimah - Al Wadi desert. About an hour north of the city
