Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa is a luxurious collection of Bedouin tent-style suites within a desert conservation reserve on the outskirts of Dubai.
EXPERIENCE
Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa is an opulent oasis of serene comfort and Arabian style in the middle of the Al Maha desert. Bedouin tents become lavishly appointed guest suites with their own private chilled pools and spectacular views as vast and far as the eye can see. Elegant social areas abound, including a comfortable and inviting library of deep rich wooden tones, an open and airy hotel lounge filled with traditional artifacts that makes for the ideal convening post before and after the day's activities, and an intimate and leisurely bar for a late afternoon respite from the desert heat.
Wondering what to do in the desert? Well, if lounging around the lavish sun-drenched property isn't enough for you, how about a guided walk or wildlife drive for a better view of the Al Maha landscape, flora, and fauna that call the desert home? If a camel trek into the sunset is more your pace, just grab a hump, and head out.
