Within Al Maha's timeless horizons, you will find yourself at one with nature. What better way to spend the end of a day than to gaze out at the rare Arabian Oryx or the shy gazelles as they make their way across the silent sands. This is your sanctuary - and theirs.

Library

Elegant furnishings, original artworks and sepia photographs of Al Maha's library create the perfect ambience for reading or a quiet game of chess. A selection of videos is also available. 

Fitted with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment, the library can be utilised by corporate guests as a unique conference facility, seating up to 20 people.

Majlis

Traditionally a gathering place for informal conversation or business discussions, the majlis is an integral part of local culture - a comfortable venue for social interaction and unhurried negotiations. Decorated with fine antiques, Al Maha's Majlis is no exception to the time-honoured tradition.

Gallery

Resort-branded accessories, local antiques and Arabian artefacts are available from Al Maha's Gallery retail outlet, including bathrobes, baseball caps, Islamic art and traditional khanjars or daggers.

Many of the antiques displayed throughout Al Maha's public areas and private suites can be purchased through The Gallery, which also takes care of shipping arrangements for guests.

Spa

Surrounded by indigenous flora and cascading water features, and offering panoramic views of the desert and the distant Hajar Mountains, Al Maha's Jamilah Spa & Leisure Centre boasts state-of-the-art 'LifeFitness' equipment, a sauna, steam room, interior jacuzzi and ice-cold plunge pool. 

Complete body massage treatments are available in a choice of single or double massage rooms that connect with hydrotherapy and Rasool therapy rooms. Relaxation can also be found outside, in our pool which overlooks the infinite desert horizon. 

Traditional desert pursuits, such as falconry, camel treks, horse riding and archery, recall a former way of life. For sheer excitement, an outing 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.

Off-site Activities

Mountain Safari

The jagged peaks of the Hajar Mountains, which can be seen from the resort, contain numerous wadis or dry river beds, that make for an entirely different off road adventure to dune driving. Morning excursions may end with lunch in a palm-fringed enclave deep in the wadi.

Hatta Excursions

Guests can request visits to Hatta, a 200-year-old village at the foot of the Hajar range that contains a fine heritage village, a traditional falaj irrigation system and the remains of an old fortress.

In the desert between Hatta and Dubai lies Fossil Rock - named after the marine life fossils found there - and Camel Rock, two favourite off-road destinations. Excursions to both can be arranged.

Sand-skiing and quad bike riding are available in the large red dunes off the Dubai Hatta Road, 40 minutes from the resort.

Al Ain Excursions

Highlights of an excursion to the 'garden city' of Al Ain, spiritual home of Abu Dhabi's ruling Al Nahyan family, are its picturesque fortress museum and ancient burial tombs.

Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa is set in 225 square kilometres of pristine desert landscape just 45 minutes from the cosmopolitan city of Dubai, the thriving centre of commerce and leisure in the Gulf.

It represents nearly five percent of Dubai's land area and is the largest piece of land ever dedicated to a single project in Dubai. An oasis of luxury and enchantment, Al Maha lies within an award-winning conservation area where desert wildlife abounds. It's also the only resort within the area where visitors can experience the true beauty and majesty of the desert and observe the indigenous wildlife.
