Forty-five minutes outside of Dubai, Al Maha Desert Resort combines the traditions of Arabian heritage with supreme levels of personalized service and luxury set in 87 square miles of pristine desert landscape. As the only resort within the area preserve, guests can experience the true beauty and majesty of the desert and observe indigenous wildlife with quiet privacy.


The spacious suites offer sizeable pools facing out over the desert where guests can possibly catch a glimpse of the elusive Arabian Oryx during their stay. Guests receive a choice of two daily activities ranging from guided desert safaris, falconry, camel trekking, horse riding and archery – all of which can be arranged with your Field Guide on arrival at the resort.


For sheer excitement, an outing flying over the dunes in a rugged four-wheel drive vehicle cannot be beaten. In contrast, guided nature walks offer a quieter and more informative way to experience the desert, as does a visit to the spa for a relaxing massage or stress-reducing hydrotherapy session.


After a long day relaxing or exploring the preserve’s natural wonders, Al Maha treats discerning appetites to a delicious five-course dinner, ensuring guests are well fed for the next day’s adventures.
