Usually, when you think about vacation, your mind probably wonders to thoughts of the beach or maybe a trip to one of your favorite amusement parks. However, the best place to vacation is actually the desert.

This probably sounds crazy. Staying overnight in a hot, dry, sand covered location? Doesn't sound ideal. However, deserts are home to some of the most beautiful resorts around, and you'd actually be surprised at the number of activities offered there.

Here is a look into 6 of the most popular desert resorts around:

1. Amangiri

Centered between many parks including the Grand Canyon, Amangiri offers hot air ballooning over canyons, horseback rides, kayaking, and much more.

2. Longitude 131 Degrees

Centered in Australia, venture here and experience guided tours through caves, private helicopter rides, and a walk through "a field of lights," a portion of the desert lit up in a multitude of colors.

3. Explora Atacama

Take a journey to Chile and experience the desert, the highlands, and an oasis all in one. There is so much to see that it is recommended you stay a minimum of five nights!

4. Qasr Al Sarab

Located in the largest uninterrupted body of sand in the world, travel to Abu Dubai and choose between adventuring through the desert or relaxing with a multitude of spa amenities.

5. Enchantment Resort

Located in Sedona, Arizona, taking a trip here offers you the option to experience a bike ride through the red rocks of Sedona as well as once in a lifetime views.

6. Al Maha

Centered in Dubai, enjoy a nature walk, dune drive, or archery in the heart of the desert.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
