We stayed in suite 11 for 3 nights from 24th June and from the moment we got through the security gate and started our drive to the resort I knew why we had come back to Al Maha. We had lunch when we arrived which was great and then we went to our suite. The view was amazing and the... more

Better than I could ever have imagined. As you drive up to the 'hotel' you realise just how amazing this is. You really are in the middle of the desert!!! We would recommend the falconry - although this is an early start it is worth it, and the sunset camel ride. We chose not to go on the camel but... more

We have been coming regularly to Al Maha when we had a stopover in Dubai always stay at least 3 nights. We like Al Maha because it is a place to relax, enjoy the private swimming pool, the food and the excellent spa. As you can see fom the pictures, we enjoyed also horseback riding in the desert. For those... more

These days, Dubai has a large number of very luxurious hotels & living just down the road in Abu Dhabi, we've been lucky enough to stay at just about all of them. There are other desert hotels in Dubai but Al Maha stands way above the competition. It models itself on the top quality African Safari lodges and the whole... more

Al Maha is a beautiful resort in the middle of Dubai’s desert nature reserve. We booked a private transfer with Al Maha and annoyingly you have to go to the Budget car hire counter to meet the Al Maha rep. Obviously Budget is more concerned with car rental and so we had to wait awhile before we were able to... more

After the a week staying at the Mina Salam, it wa nice to get away from the hussle of Dubai. We stayed in a Royal Suite, which had everything you could wish for, beautiful flowers, fruit, Sherry if anyone is into that. The best bit though was the VIEW!, overlooking our pool was miles of desert. tTe food was excellent... more

this was our second trip to Dubai but we had never stayed in the desert so decided to spend 2 nights here after 3 nights at the Royal Meridien on Jumeirah Beach. We had a 4 x 4 transfer to the resort which took just under an hour. From the minute we arrived we were treated like royalty from the... more

My family and I were very fortunate to have found the Al Maha. We had originally planned to go to Kenya then Dubai for a vacation but with the political unrest in Kenya we switched our plans and landed in the fabulous Al Maha before making our way into the city of Dubai and staying at the Burj Al Arab.... more

We were a little hesitant booking the Al Maha as it is isn't cheap, but overall it was good value. It really is an oasis within Dubai. The whole ambience is quite relaxed and not at all formal, with the essence being relaxation and at your own pace. If you don't fancy an activity, then don't do it. There isn't... more
