Holiday location
Local Area
This luxury hotel in The Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve offers the chance to experience Dubai in an entirely different way – surrounded by sand dunes rather than skyscrapers.
The conservation reserve forms 5% of the UAE’s land area and is its first national park. It’s a centre for research and monitoring of the desert’s delicate ecosystem, and the Al Maha Desert Resort and Spa is committed to minimising its environmental impact. Desert oryx, Arabian Gazelles and desert reptiles are among the wildlife you’ll find in the reserve – the hotel’s knowledgeable guides will show you where to look.
Al Maha is perfect for anyone looking for something different, a romantic place to celebrate a special occasion, or as a twin-centre with your choice of hotel in Dubai itself. Please ask for details of our Dubai Luxury Beach and Desert Experience (8 Days), which combines two nights at Al Maha with a luxury stay at Raffles The Palm Dubai.
And, after a day of bars and shopping malls, what could be nicer than an escape back to watch the sun set over the desert from your private deck?
