Step into the stillness of the desert and the transformative energy of Sanctum with this exclusive pre-immersion created for Global Wellness Summit participants. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Al Maha, A Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa, nestled within the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, this mindful desert hike weaves nature’s rhythms with Sanctum’s signature sequence – a cathartic, music-driven ritual of movement and reconnection. The journey concludes with a private sundowner gathering, hosted by the Al Maha team, where reflection, conversation, and shared presence mark a soulful beginning to the transformative days ahead.
