Al Maha Desert Resort And Spa Dubai

One cant help feeling a little like Lawrence of Arabia on the journey to the Al Maha Resort in the heart of Dubais desert. Al Maha is located 45 minutes away from Dubai city of Gold. Though 4-wheel drive jeeps have long since replaced camels as the most common form of transport, the sense of adventure, privacy and isolation remains. Open since March 1999, the Al Maha was the first ecotourism resort built in the United Arab Emirates, home of the indigenous species such as the Arabian Oryx and Gazelles have been reintroduced and wander freely.
