Al Maha

Just an hour from the urban bustle of Dubai, Al Maha feels a world away. This luxury resort lies within the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, a protected area covering 5 per cent of the emirate’s land, offering an exclusive sanctuary for native wildlife like the Arabian oryx and desert gazelle.

The resort features 42 opulent, Bedouin-style tented suites. Each is exquisitely appointed with handcrafted Arabian furnishings, a super-king bed, and a spacious bathroom. All suites boast a private, temperature-controlled infinity pool that overlooks the sweeping golden dunes, offering a serene escape into the desert landscape.

Beyond the comfort of the suites, guests can immerse themselves in the desert environment through a range of activities. Options include sunset camel treks, thrilling dune drives, horse riding, archery, and guided nature walks with expert field guides. For relaxation, a tranquil spa and a well-equipped gym are available.
